The Willcox and Gibbs Automatic is Beginning to Shine
It didn't take long to get the metal to shine.
When I was cleaning the foot I realised that it has a bar and groove so you can use it as a braiding foot. Where I would find tiny narrow braid today I can't begin to think. Six stranded embroidery thread just fits through.
I've had the atlas out to see where in Texas you are. Completely ridiculous that you are getting snow. We should be getting it instead of all the wretched rain we've been having.
Great post, LIzzie. Love this machine. Do you collect this hand crank vintage machines and sell them? Or just collect them as a hobby..
ReplyDeleteHello Lourdes,
ReplyDeleteNo I don't sell the machines, I collect them as a hobby and use the ones that work best.

What did you use on the metal to shine it up?
ReplyDeletePeek Metal Polish. A little goes a very long way.
