Wow so the found it in a barn dream remains alive for all of us! Nice cleanup job.

I think what yoi are after is a swing down (or otherwise attached) sewing guide.

Sure Bob can help.

A great find and a great job of getting it running again.

I just realized that rotten old board it was sitting on was the original stand.  Did you fix the original stand or just start over with a different one?  Either way, great job!   I do like the cut out under the arm.  It looks like a very useful feature for that machine.

I dremeled a slot in my foot (you know THAT hurt!) so I could see the line to the needle. Sand smooth so thread doesn't snag. 

Having said that, I find that when I don't get the tensions just right, there is a slight loop that can...and occasionally does, loop over the foot on the right side as I'm looking at it. I think it's only when I am trying to adjust the distance to a corner or point in the stitch line. I know I'm likely making my move to adjust in the wrong point in the travel of the universe.

Oh, and on that line to the stitching, I'd thought that one of those laser line things would be great, but I did some research and the line is at least 1/8" wide, maybe more. I don't have that kind of slop built into my stuff. When I was still working for a living, in the dental radiography business, the laser lines were adjustable for distance, and from hairline wide to whatever you wanted. Of course, the price was WAY up there!

So much leather...so little time.
