| Introduction | Sewing machines, their accessories, presser feet, attachments & storage or carrying cases, sewing tables, sewing manuals, sewing books, pattern making systems, are all my passion! While my favorite way to power a sewing machine is the treadle, most of my machines are electric, as are the machines my hubby & I have repaired, serviced, & saved, particularly over the last 25+ years. The internet has made it possible to learn as much as possible, about sewing & sewing machines, & I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to do so, creating my own sewing machine encyclopedia in photos, manuals, & other sources of information, to help me try to keep my memory (my brain tumors cause memory problems), while giving me an opportunity to help others identify, find the correct attachments & accessories for, their sewing machines. I particularly enjoy telling Ebay sellers how to best sell & identify their sewing machines & accessories, so they can get the highest prices from them, particularly rare accessories. There are more sewing machine feet, attachments & mechanical gems than you could ever imagine! |
| Interests | Researching & comparing industrial & home sewing machines, the improvements & inventions to them, as well as sewing machine feet, accessories, attachments, folders, manuals, furniture & tools which simplify sewing, & help home sewers make professional quality sewn projects & clothing.
