That two-tone is very impressive. Well done. It's just a shame that some of the paint will wear off with use.

Hehe I know. But for me, I cant wait. I like the used look. When I get a leather bag, I tend to ruff it up before use :)

Wow! Stunning! She is  B E A U T I F U L !!! Well worth the wait! I know you need to get her all tuned up before you can start sewing on her, but what kind of sewing projects are you dreaming of? Can't wait to see what you will make and how she sews!

Oh, and that little brass piece you created that was missing is really special! Loved that and the way you restored the decals too.

THANK YOU so much!! really took some time yes, but she looks perfect in my living room right now. Next up, is custom building a table from scratch. I have a big thick oak slab in the basement I want to use! When I start, I will post in the same thread, if someone else would find that interesting maybe :thumbsup:

I sell dog collars in my shop, all hand sewn, but some people want a full harness, and that takes forever by hand!, That's where Karen comes ind. She will now make dog harnesses, with quilt and bindings. 

I must say, special thanks for you all people, I met a lot of residents from my friends, and you guys/gals cheers me on, really helped!
Without sewing Danishman and Jimi threads about this machine, I would not dare to start by myself

Not right now :rofl:

Im figuring out the timing still, and ordered the spring for thread tension, so cant test it. The needle strong is to long right now

134-35 needles system.  Some used a #190 needle system.

Hi Glenn, not sure what you mean, is the needle too long?

First try timing it with System 134-35 needles. They are frequently used in Pfaff machines. The System 190 are much longer and would be used on high lift machines to allow one to sew thicker material. You could check if your model was originally a high lift, or standard lift. "Lift" in this instance means alternating foot height during operation.
