So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Know Where There Are Vintage Sewing Machine Parts For Sale

By Leticia Jensen


People have a lot of activities everyday and taking a break from the busy schedule can give way to relaxation. One way of relaxing is by engaging oneself in enjoyable activities that cater ones interest. Each person has a different way of entertaining themselves and these activities can be called a passion or a hobby.

Nowadays you can still find women who have a passion to mend things at home and sewing machines can help a great deal. An old stitching engine can be very useful because they are easy to learn and easy to maintain. Add to that, they can also be purchased in an affordable price. If you have one but find some parts missing you can buy them in tailoring shops. Most of them have vintage sewing machine parts for sale or if not you can go to shops that do sewing machine repair.

A well functioning stitching engine has complete parts. Any part that is missing will cause the machine not to work. This is because all of its components are interconnected and one lost piece means that it would not work. A missing presser foot would cause the fabric not to run. Similarly, a machine without a needle bar and a bobbin case will not produce stitches. This means that you have to secure all the parts to get it functioning.

Speaking about buying the missing components. If you do not have a clue on where to buy them, you would most likely have difficulty in finding them or you would end up in the wrong place. This would likely result to you just dropping the matter and giving up on fixing the engine anymore. But you can actually look for them in tailoring shops or you could ask them where you could buy the components.

Aside from tailoring shops, you can find them in the following places. If you have a personal stitching device at home that was passed down by your ancestors, chances are you might find any related piece in a closet of any of your relatives particularly your grandmother. You can also find them in shops that sell second hand items as well as in garage sales.

If you have a vintage sewing device, you will find it a blessing to afford any part for a very cheap price. More often, they do not reach fifty percent of the price of the new ones. The idea here is all about you not having to buy a new part for an old machine if there are cheaper ones of the same kind.

Here are a few more things that you can benefit from an old machine. It can be easily manipulated or controlled. Anyone who wishes to use it can more likely learn fast because it suits the pace of the the learner. This is best of beginners and children who wanted to learn needlework.

Though vintage engines may have some damage, they can work as fine as the new ones. You just have to properly take care of it and observe all the necessary things to do. Avoiding any unlikely habit can also help preserve its usability and avoid further damage.

Those are just some of the things that you need to know about vintage sewing machines. Those who take sewing as their hobby can maintain their engine fit to work all the time by taking proper care of it. This way, you can have it parts in order and get it working pretty fine.
