How are you enjoying sewing with your Standard? I love mine. I don't use it often enough, but when I do, I enjoy sewing with it. These Standards are sweet machines. Right now, I have it set up as a chain stitch machine.
Yes she does look sad working on the rust now, I'm hoping wd40 and a steel brush will do the job.
I love, love, love the Standard! I just finished a quilt top using her, I will post it tonight. I have not set the chain stitch up yet on her yet, but all the parts are there to do it, maybe play more with her this weekend. In the meantime I am up to my elbows in dirt and grime and rust on this Raymond, I hope I can save her and make her pretty once again.
**Thank you to everyone who posted info on the Raymond, very cool sites!**
