Sewing is not just a mundane activity from the 50's but a tool for creating vibrant art. I made this on two machines from 53 and 59. If the people who bought them back then could see how diversely they being used, drop feed dogs, free motion, I think they would be amazed. The man who manufactured these machines was a true perfectionist. I just love them.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690571754847916988.post-57237314739890795652020-02-11T05:01:21.232-05:002020-02-11T05:01:21.232-05:00Of course the colorful side is dramatic and vibran...Of course the colorful side is dramatic and vibrant and gorgeous.
