Can you feel the love?! I'm totally in love with the character and age of this machine, I even love the smell of it! I think its perfect and it will be used and appreciated for many many years to come :)
Alan, I love you so much - you know me so well and are always so encouraging and supportive with my creative endeavors, well with everything actually! THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteThank you my beautiful wife. You are so amazing and creative and continue to surprise me with the massive range of things that you can do. Continue to sparkle x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Astra :)
ReplyDeleteI had a sewing machine once, but the bobbin and tension kept playing up. Put me clean off sewing. I admire those who have the patience and who are able to create items of beauty. Me - useless.
Thanks guys :) I have been having lots of fun learning on it, next project some gardening hand warmers...
ReplyDeleteHi, I have this same machine handed down to me by my mam I was just wondering do you happen to have the manual for it? love the little attachment tin...dont have one :(
ReplyDeleteThe manual is soooo hard to find! My hubby spent a few days looking and got a few versions of it, not the exact model match but you can figure out 99% from them, I have them all on PDF and Id be happy to email them to you, just email me direct - alanandastra (at) gmail (dot) com
DeleteIsn't the tin just the coolest!

DeleteHi my name is Clare and I live in the UK. I have recently being given the same machine that you got and, like you, I was over the moon. My mother-in-law gave it to me (she also gave me a Kenwood Chef from the 1970's and that is used constantly)I am trying to get hold of a user manual and you say on your blog that you are prepared to share, if you could send me the manual I would be so grateful. :0) xx
ReplyDeleteno problem clare just send me your email address (mines in the side bar) and ill get it to you :) its a great machine :) x
DeleteHi Astra, I sent you an email last night about the manual and thought I would just pop on and say a big thank you for helping me out with htis, I too have looked long and hard and I haven't been able to find a manual for this exact model so you are a life saver. I didn't want to be given this wonderful gift and wreck it by not actually knowing how to work it :0) x
DeleteHi Astra thank you very much for the instruction manual, tomorrow will be spent getting to know my machine better and from then who knows :0) x
Delete:) best of luck, I'm sure you'll love it! x
