Picked up my machine today. All looks fine! Bob will fix a crack in the cover which he planned to do. This machine is so heavy, just carrying it—putting it away—is a trick and over the years the case has cracked. I love its being so heavy duty. I was able to sew the leather vest Bob is/was wearing many moons ago. The lining is long gone but the leather is like new.

Things from the sixties were made to last!

In my quest to buy the best leather I got REALLY heavy leather. This vest can stand up by it’s self! Sit on a hard bench and you can damage your arm pits as the leather stays straight! But sewing it was like sewing butter, well not really but you get the idea. So now it’s on to loops and circles and who knows what!
