Update on the Sewing Machine

I know that it’s been over 2 months since I posted last here, work is taking up all my time as well as a few other issues. The work on the sewing machine had been going really well until I started putting the new decals on and ran into a bit of a snag. The decals when the come off the backing are really thin and have to be handled really careful. They are soaked in warm water till they start to lift off and I didn’t give enough time to the large one that goes across the front of the machine. I streatched it so far out of shape that I got angry, ripping it off and then ripping it up.

It took me nearly 2 months to get the courage up to go back after it and ask the company that I bought the decals from to be so kind as to send me another set so I could finish. I got lucky, they sent me only what I needed instead of a full set and are only requesting that I pay shipping. (I’ll send extra!) I got the new decal today and will attempt to put it on maybe tomorrow. In the meantime I’m posting pictures of the machine I took today.
