I guess I just really need someone to talk to...

How to get someone to talk to me...can anybody slow down long enough to be a friend?

Is Anybody out there?

And does anybody really care? Sounds pathetic doesn't it...
Almost christmas time and this is the prime time for stress!!
And I haven't had time to get in and fiddle around with my vintage sewing machines for a loooong time, now. I have been busy knitting gifts for christmas presents for people--relatives--who probaby don't even care or appreciate just how long it takes to knit something...hmmm...just why do I put myself through this?
The only sewing I have done lately is to make a couple of bibs for a grandbaby. I also put together a practice gown pattern for another grandbaby. I want to adapt the pattern to make a kimono type nighty shirt. I have some flannel that is pink and white with the Hello Kitty designs all over it.
I guess if I really want people to read my blog, then I have to make it public, is that right??

Free Sewing machine No. # 5

This is my latest collectible. All I know about it is that is was maed in Rockford Illinois. It is missing a presser foot and a shuttle. But it runs--has a motor, and I will rewire the plug.

"Free Sewing Machine No.#5

I have never heard of this company. But I did some research and found out it was made in Rockford Illinois. I can't tell how old it is cause there is no serial numbers anywhere on the machine. But it looks very similar to the one Ed L has on his blogspot. I am referreing to his Singer 15-125. I wish there was a place I could start an album of all my old sewing machine pictures. I will see if I can put it on this blogspot.
I welcome any comments on this subject. Thanks.

Just got another sewing machine

Hey, this seems to be the year of receiving sewing machines-- so I guess I have officially become a collector! My husband thinks I am nuts "you don't NEED another machine"!
So I joined this blog thingy so I could try to find some answers about this machine. I am hoping someone could help me out. Like how old is it? Where do I find parts for it? How about a manual, and the bobbins are gone...and the power plug is missing...

This is an ADLER BELVEDERE, model #330-0, and really heavy!!
Other numbers on it are RZ 102001---think that is the serial number.
Also J-C6
And J-A3
And 17095
Thanks anybody out there that can help.
