Haunted

I was ready to rock.

 

I had my pile of squares ready to be pieced together into a quilt top.

Ah.. That distinctive Featherweight case stink.

 I pulled my Grandma's sewing machine out of the case.  I often think of my grandmother when I use this machine.

All I used from my sewing machine maintenance kit was the oil and compressed air.

She was a Home Ec. Teacher and perfectionist as well.  I have always suspected that she haunts this machine shuddering at my lazy sewing ways.  So I took the time to clean and oil it just to satisfy her. I thought she would appreciate it.

I even spent some time on line reading Featherweight tips and I learned a couple of things about caring for the machine.

I got it all ready to sew and looking lovely, if I may say so. 

 I just needed unplug it, de-tangle the power cord from the pedal cord and re-plug it in to the outlet with the power cord positioned behind the machine.  Just so everything would be perfect.
