That does look yummy Amy!

I'm feeling a little more human today. Perhaps it's because I was able to pet some fabrics last night while scrap sorting.
Although I didn't get to sew this week, I did get to work on the machines while taking breaks from shuffling around furniture and "stuff" (some of these pieces haven't been moved in years...I'm not even going to confess to how many dust bunnies...)

I picked up another Goodwill find, a mid 70's model Kenmore. Nothing exciting.....just a straight stitch/zig zag model with a roomier harp space that I'm hoping to use for quilting and denim (instead of the broken gear Miss 6 slant)
Well upon inspection her zig did not zag. Not at all....hmmm
So in I went to figure out why. Girl just needed some TLC and some oil. Now she zigs, she zags, and she sashays!

This got me curious so I opened up a newer (2000?) but still mechanical (and cheapo wally world clearance many years ago) machine that has never sewn well just to see what was inside. Holy crap!
And crap is right. Reminds me of the difference between the old reliable straight forward Ford engines..say pre 1980 (like the vintage Singers) and today's current import cars where you have to remove half the engine just to check the oil!
Nothing wrong with import cars, I loved my Honda, but yowsa... I needed a degree in rocket science to even figure out the newer mechanical sewing machine. Soooo many plastic parts crammed in there that I didn' even know what to oil!
Needless to say I dribbled a few drops on what I thought would help and closed her up real fast.

That's been my "sewing" week. A week of machine innards and guts.
...and junk
..and furniture
...and dust bunnies
