OOOH! My Grandmother’s sewing machine – one of my treasures! The sound and feel of it… Ah, but how will it suit your research I wonder – look forward to hearing…
i remember my grandmother making her quilts on a singer sewing machine. i remember the constant whirr, the up and down of the treadle, and the look of bliss on her face as she fed the pinned scraps of fabric under the needle.
