I do have a couple of FWs here. A friend volunteered a little Janome that has buttons and speed control on the machine so may use that. She will get it to me on a trip up north (she lives about 50 miles from me! I am also thinking that might be able to sit at dining room table eventually and then could use my other leg while keeping the casted leg elevated!<br /> Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120813220199735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-16955768674490188302020-06-16T11:02:36.832-04:002020-06-16T11:02:36.832-04:00The fabrics are fun and make interesting blocks.
Y...The fabrics are fun and make interesting blocks.<br />You could rest the Singer 221/Featherweight on your lap and use an elbow to press on the controller. <br />Or you could use a vintage or antique hand crank sewing machine like a 3/4 size Singer 99. Replacement spoked handwheels and hand cranks are available. Aftermarket hand cranks and handcranks are more easily found. <br />Handcrank sewing machines allow very accurate sewing as the needle stops when the hand crank stops.<br />I have several hand crank sewing machines, but am not trying to sell one of mine. Just giving a suggestion. There are lots of sewing machine collectors near you that may be willing to sell one.Phyllis in Iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593618928475657028noreply@blogger.com
