My daughter is staying with us for a couple of days and we have been playing around with a new header for this blog.
Some of you will recall a previous post about my Mean Green Sewing Machine which I inherited from my late Mother-in-law. You helped me to solve my dilemma as to whether I should rescue it from a state of disrepair.
You can find the post here. I now use this machine for all of my patchwork piecing and it sews beautifully, so I am glad you helped to persuade me to have it fixed.
We decided that the machine deserved to be in the spotlight. What do you think of the header?

/ October 31, 2013Your mean green machine looks like a much more awesome version of my blue monster! The fancy newer machine I have is a Viking Rose but now that I’m piecing a top on the old blue monster I think I’m going to follow your lead and keep it set up as a go-to for that type of work from now on. It just sews so… satisfyingly. I’m really glad you took the time to resurrect yours – it turned out beautifully!

/ October 31, 2013Hi, Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂 Yes, the old machines are workhorses. Mine never lets me down. I have no tension issues or any other problems that I have with my modern machine. The oldie is slower but that’s perfect for accurate piecing. I’m so pleased I decided to have it fixed 🙂
