Re: Welcome


 

Hi

We could if you wanted start a google account for you or others to manage, this would give us 16gig or free storage for documents and pictures, we would have to experiment with people sharing a photo so we can copy it to an album to manage them per machine / user again there is need for a discussion and trial before we use this slightly awkward method. I am uncertain if it will be a usable solution.??

Another test for you
I just added some text to the bottom right you need to get rid of the action sidebar if it is there and move the mouse over the image and the txt should be in the bottom left.

Extra chat fee free to ignore
The ELSA machine info is here?
scroll down past the WW8 machine down to the ELSA, it takes the longer needle so have to trap an ordinary shorter needle and leave a gap at the top.

Miller I would like to have a chat with you about using part of a needle as a spacer for the WW and ELSA machines I did spend some time fining a modern needle for a Jones machine,,,,, anyway there is a bit to chat about if you have time; it may help people in the future. The ELSA need the long scarf on the right as you may guess. I recently figured out why some needles have a small scarf on the hook side for clearance.

all the best
John?

Hi? John;
The picture came through fine, nice looking machine. I am not familiar with the Elsa name, is this an English made machine?

Wave Lesley and I might see you across the Bristol Channel.

We have a few old machines and a recent purchase was a WW9 hand machine, it was sold as working (I did laugh) but had a missing bottom tension screw (salvaged on from a Singer 99, not perfect but works)
Also needs a bit of TLC to fix the broken corner off the bed across the rear screw hole for the stitch length plate; the rest of has been glued to the wood case ???

I did not even haggle the ?50 cost for the machine, its condition is stunning so it must have been bust a long time and left in a cupboard.?

Just thought I would test this method of including a picture of another machine it is an ELSA possibly 1880ish
