I am one step closer to getting this to sew again:
I took a gamble on that machine, then another gamble on the canister fitting it. I am still amazed that someone found a canister, even more amazed that it works in this machine. There are a few more pieces I need to pull together and I will need needles for it before I can test it out. I went to Scrap this weekend and bought up a bunch of small wooden spools of thread. Looks like I have plenty that will work.
And I had fun with the handcrank! I bought some scrap fabric and probably paid too much for this batch with feed sack reproduction fabric. Part of it was cut into strips and I just put it aside. I wanted a project for the handcrank and thought of making small nine patch squares. These still need to be trimmed and probably are not the best patches I will ever sew, but I had a lot of fun with it.
I’ve never seen a 2 spool in person, looks like fun.
