I needed to oil three of my machines and decided to make a little video of the process. The Necchi Supernova, Singer 500a (Rocketeer), and a Japanese made Dressmaker. All machines from the late 50s. Seems to fit here in the vintage board but I suppose it could go under sewing machines as well. ------ Blog: www.briansews.com I teach at www.hipstitchers.com YouTube videos: http://www.youtube.com/BRemlinger

I was so inspired that I cleaned and oiled my three machines, then I called my mother and told her to round up her old machines that she never uses, so I could come over and oil them too! :P (She's got one 1970's machine that "doesn't work" but I'm wondering if it just needs some oil....) ------

I have an opportunity to snag one from the same era for $15. I don't need it, but it would be a fun addition if it's a good machine. ------ Brother CE-500PRW, Singer 347,Singer 413, Singer 66, Singer 404, Singer 4622, Electrogrand, Kenmore 158.17570, Kenmore 158.10400, Viking Huskylock 901.... and several others A seam a day Keeps the blues away
