@@Pete-z6e Thanks, spell check on this tablet didn't have it.

I wonder what spell check would make of your username.

@@jonka1 I bet it would have a harder time on that, I think "Clem" would be proud of me though.

Keeping mine all treadle. ;)

the rotating walking foot is a fantastic invention and for some reason absent from just about every other machine I have ever seen

I just say A happy knife Solves an unhappy wife

Is there anything this man CAN'T do?

yes he does. but he asks that you leave it for a few days. he will get to it around his other projects.

AndyB , yes, bring a bit of leather to bite on.

In the oodles of spare time he has...

@@Kevin75668 that's exactly my observation. We acquire the tools to do things ourselves and often teach ourselves how its done. Its a strange world im in trying to learn and doing more baking, cooking and sewing for myself while the women i know have pizzahut on speed dial and only use a microwave.

I don't do as much heavy sewing nowadays as I used to; but I'll forever be thankful my late grandmother taught me how when I was a child. I'm even more thankful she passed her machines on to me. Including the old 1920's-era White that she taught me on and that's been in the family 5 generations now. I still take it out from time to time and run it through its paces. Nearing 100 years old now and knowing it as I do I won't be surprised if it manages to outlast me too.

My mother was an active quilter after she was retired and made a few dozen over the last decade or so of her life. Everyone in the family has at least one of her quilts, and her ‘masterpiece’ was used as a cover for her casket at the funeral.

his hands *are* clean...this is as "white" as they will get

@@EngelsCoachShop yes it is. You are welcome the joy is truely mind when watching your video's. Tell your wife beauty hand bag.

I showed my wife the video and now we're both on the hunt for one of these - thanks for the tip about the Adler!! :)

Amen

Interesting I did not realise it was Singer that copied Adler. Though I thought it must be a Patent copy somewhere along the line. Thanks for the insight

🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats gold

EngelsCoachShop Much appreciated. I'm sat before my 29k71 with 110 and 130 needles at hand, but no Tex 70 ( described as 40's here ) so I'll use some button thread for now, as I begin my journey of discovery .....🌞🌞🌞 The next time I take the Oregon Trail , I know where to come for my wagon.....but it will need to cross the Atlantic if I'm ever to get it home !! Just love your channel and skill. Happy New Year.

Nathan Okun Reminds me of my memories of my grandmother! She was a seamstress and in the 50s she would sew dresses from patterns in a German magazine „Burda Moden“. I was around 6 years old and I sat by her left side watching how she made a pretty dress peace by peace. And when the work was done, she would give me some leftover peaces that I could sew together, taught me how to fold and sew a seam. For all my life (I‘m 72) I have always had a sewing machine and if something needed sewing it was my chore. Fitting for a retired oral surgeon. Thanks for the memories your „off topic“ demo brought to me!

@@berndheiden7630 I recently learned something about my grandfather too. Both my grandmother above and him were raised in the Ukraine in nearby villages and their families were distantly related (almost everyone in a small region was related by birth or marriage somehow in Europe). One day when they were both young children (slightly prior to the year 1900), they were at some family gathering and he told my grandmother that he was going to marry her when they grew up -- he was dead serious. However, her family immigrated to the US shortly thereafter and ended up in Kansas City, Missouri, in almost the exact center of the North American continent, far, far away from my grandfather. He grew up as a blacksmith (a very good one!) and he either volunteered or was drafted into the Imperial Russian Army. In early 1914 things were what in the US would be called "going South" as far as European politics was concerned and later that year WWI broke out, the worst war in history up to then. However, also early in 1914, my grandfather remembered his promise to my grandmother and he decided that his word was his bond and he would now act on it. Somehow he got assistance (I have no idea whose or what kind, but it was not small) and he gathered up some money, supplies, clothing, and some map to where my grandmother lived and he went AWOL from the Russian Army (obviously, if they had caught him, he probably would have been executed) and started a trek across the entire continent of Europe. He only knew Russian (of limited value once west of Ukraine), Hebrew (even more limited value), and Yiddish (of somewhat more usefulness since it helped him communicate with people who spoke German-type languages). He had to improvise and sneak across borders -- this was much like in a good adventure film about spies -- and would have been either arrested or maybe shot as a spy (seeing the political situation) if he had been caught by any of the countries he moved through. He finally ended up on the Atlantic coast and either from France or Britain went in "steerage" as a passenger to the US, where, at Ellis Island in New York, he became a US citizen. He then traveled to where my grandmother lived (still not knowing English, but there were many other European immigrants at that time, so he could get some assistance), got on his knee, and proposed to her, as promised long ago. She accepted and, as far as I am concerned, "the rest is history". My grandfather was like a hero out of a good Romance Novel and I am his grandchild, one of the most proud things that I have in my life...

Nathan Okun Thank you so much for sharing that moving family history! Compared to that we had it quite easy. I got the unusual opportunity in 1965 to go to the U.S.A. (Ft. Lauderdale, FLA) on a Rotary Club scholarship. So far in my life I had only been outside Germany once, when we took a short trip on a weekend to the adjacent Netherlands! Flying across the Atlantic with a Jetplane was something for the rich and famous. So I got to New York, spend a day there and continued to Florida. After graduating from High School class of ’66 I went back to Germany by Boot from New York, another first and highly unusual. Before she ship left I saw the excavation for the World Trade Center. But unusual as that was at that time, this is easy compared to the trip of your grandfather. Thank you again for sending me down memory lane. Greetings from Mallorca, where I live now.
