Candy Floss

What can I say? It's red, blue, key lime pie green, light green, orange and probably another couple of colors, that I don't remember.......
That said, this 1960's Japanese straight stitcher will happily munch its way through 6 layers of Sunbrella, most any other upholstery fabric andn set up properly, will also sew 1/4" of soft vegetable tanned leather. Tough! Then when you're done with that, it will sew all regular fabrics and not really notice the difference.

The Fabulous Miss Coral

Playing with paint, The fabulous Miss Coral:
Kenmore shipped this clone in the usual black, sometime in the 1950s. By the time it got to me it had all the usual finish issues (and then some). So I decided to refurbish it and give it some 50's flair and sophistication with a two-tone coral and chestnut paint job in a faux alligator skin case.
I like the results. I think that she is, as the French would say, "une mademoiselle, trez chic"

What should I feed my baby Kenmore?

What should I feed my baby Kenmore?
 I found this cute little Kenmore 158.104 in a thrift store. I thought to myself, maybe, I should do a Kenmore family portrait with Miss Coral, and Lou (the Locksmith) freearm standing in for parents. It's a tough little machine with a double reduction drive and I can hardly wait to see what it grows up into.
The question that troubles me though, is what do I feed it?
