Threading the bobbin shuttle is a little convoluted, but with persistence and trial and error, I got it. I need to make it a base and buy a hand crank for it. Such a sweet little old machine.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894219519779789464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873551149091377805.post-23545153358364761402012-05-23T10:38:59.977-05:002012-05-23T10:38:59.977-05:00I only know it was NOT made in England because it ...I only know it was NOT made in England because it is not a 12K.

The fiddle base is new to me - it is just really beautiful. <br /><br />So if you know it was made in 1888, do you know where it could have been made?<br /><br />Too bad everything isn't built to last like those machines are.Mary Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120751607609866449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873551149091377805.post-91974555244320776812012-05-22T12:27:07.298-05:002012-05-22T12:27:07.298-05:00OMD!
