Introduction

 

Hi All, happy to be here and have access to all the great information and expertise in this group. Some of you may recognize me by my Victorian Sweat Shop user name JRG and signature Jim in Seattle. I have become acquainted with several of you through VSS. Among the sewing machines I've accumulated in the last half dozen years are a Wheeler and Wilson No. 8 in a walnut parlor cabinet and two Singer 12W102s, one W&W dress and the other a few years newer and in Singer dress. The second 12W102 came in an industrial treadle and may be the nicest machine to treadle that I have. Here are VSS writeups for the three.

Welcome, Jim. You'll find this is a quiet group. :-)

Thanks, Paul
 

Welcome Jim, and thanks for sharing that beautiful W&W #8 machine and all the notes! What a gorgeous cabinet and machine. I love that it has so much of the original goodies! I recently got one in it's original treadle table, with covers and lots of goodies. Here is a link to my Flickr album if you are interested.?

Lisa thank you for the compliments. That's an impressive No. 8 you have, especially with all the documentation, needles, and goodies.
 

Thank you Jim! I haven't had time to clean or work on it yet, but hopefully that will be a good winter project. Working on conserving the paperwork, as the manual is in very fragile condition, with many pages in pieces and the edges flaking off. But it is complete and is worth the effort. Hope to get it scanned and put there to share soon.?
Warm wishes, Lisa
