This is pretty much a post about how retired guys keep themselves entertained.
As you may remember from the last post I'm currently in the process of converting the 3.9 amp Singer motor into something I can use to make the 107W5 a sorta-portable machine. And here we sit.
Right now I have five industrial machines. The 29K72, the 95-40, the 96-10, the 103 and now the 107W5. The 107W5 is the only machine without propulsion. The 103 is in the industrial treadle, the rest have clutch motors assigned to them. So that needs to be fixed.
Even though we can't get together at the library, the charity sewing group continues to work on projects. These days they are kind of social distanced drop-off-completed/pickup-supplies-for-next-round in the library parking lot affairs. The past few go arounds we have been doing baby quilts for local newborns.
I'm working on some baby quilts for our charity sewing group - more on that in another post. Today I decided to jazz things up a bit by putting a cool zigzag stitch one of of them. I pulled out the not-so-trusty 401 and while setting it up noticed this:
I've always been interested in the first year 15-91s that have all the plating on them. Black Swan is even wearing the Stitch Indicator Plate off of a '31. So there was palpable excitement in the house when this little, umm.... beauty(?) showed up on Shopgoodwill.
