My old White machine was like that and sewing with only one feed dog was nigh on impossible. You couldn't sew a 1/4" seam accurately. It was fine for 5/8" seams on dressmaking. Also, you couldn't put a seam guide on the side for 1/4" seams because it contacted the right feed dog. Thanks for the reminder.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70370888744844998552018-10-26T11:42:39.687-04:002018-10-26T11:42:39.687-04:00I would definitely have grabbed those measuring cu...I would definitely have grabbed those measuring cups!

While caravaning with my husband in Australia, I would go into op shops/antique shops. He often asked "what are you looking for?" My answer "I'll know it when I see it". <br />It was often a walk down memory lane. <br />Thank you so much Bonnie for everything you teach me. �� KerrynKerryn connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093560016059564607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82413032073317774312018-10-25T21:12:14.563-04:002018-10-25T21:12:14.563-04:00That fish would be fun as yard art.

I made my first quilt on it. One day its motor started smoking and it died an unspectacular death. After a short time with a small cheap machine, I bought a used Bernina 1130 that is still my favorite machine. I do have a treadle that I got while I still had the blue machine. But you can't take a treadle to classes, so I now have 2 featherweights as well. <br />PalmerGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562016938587470501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33149636430726156732018-10-25T12:58:09.259-04:002018-10-25T12:58:09.259-04:00Looks like you had such a good time browsing the m...Looks like you had such a good time browsing the mall. Makes me want to hit one up today.<br />Thanks for sharing the fun finds.<br />I have to say, I once found a box of my stoneware in a thrift store, and it was so exciting to be able to add to my discontinued pattern without paying online prices. I know it made my day, so I understand your excitement at finding your dishes. :)Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48710556978204424142018-10-25T12:24:30.110-04:002018-10-25T12:24:30.110-04:00Love browsing the antique shops with you.
