Nope, never got the grasp of the machines I had acquired. No manuals to be found, no classes on the schedule anywhere. This is one time when vintage just won't do the trick for me.
So, for the moment, I continue to sew by hand. Occasionally perusing the offerings of my local department and craft stores, but so far nothing has struck my fancy.
Well, aside from this gorgeous thing. She was not in the store, but at the recycling center.
What is it with me and vintage machinery?
(To those of you not familiar with such a thing, our recycling center is just that. A recycling center, also a dump, a transfer station. But ours just so happens to have a wonderful thing in addition to all that; the free table.) Local residents can leave things not quite ready for the trash at the free table. Think rummage sale, but free. You never know what you will find there.
Alas, I did not bring home this beauty, but I almost did. Several times, in fact. But in the end, she became someone else's treasure.
