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.

  2. Hello Lourdes,

    No I don't sell the machines, I collect them as a hobby and use the ones that work best.

  4. Allison,

    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.

    Love,
    Muv
