If you've been reading the Selvage Blog lately you probably knew this was going to happen: I just bought this charming little sewing machine on eBay! You are the first one I'm telling! It's cast iron and measures only 7" x 7." They say the handle turns and it works, but I think I'll still use my Juki 98Q.

Wanna See My New Old Sewing Machine?

With a hand crank you'd get some exercise. That's is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteVERY cute!
ReplyDeleteUh oh! That is how it starts you know. I bought one, just one.
ReplyDeleteThat was 5 or 6 years ago........I now have more than 75 of the little charmers. I call them my Objet d'art
Do you have them on display? Send a photo! I can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteI feel it's my duty as a fellow lover of all things quilty to warn you that these little machines are highly addictive. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same machine. It used to belong to my great grandmother. I'd like to collect more, but spend too much money on fabric.
ReplyDeleteWell we DO have to prioritize! :)

Mandylifeboats,
ReplyDeleteThanks for that link! The short arm quilting machine is great. I put it on the blog.

My mother had one of these which my sister has inherited now! So cute!
