The Heavy Lifting

 

This doesn't look heavy, but to me, inside the machine, it looked normal.

Well, needless to say, it wasn't normal. What I thought was going to take hours and hours, DH spotted immediately and called it a "shunt". Isn't it cute? It's what the bench mechanic left in when he checked out the hapless machine some years ago. Since I didn't need to use this nice little Singer, I never ran it at home to see what was what.

This machine is going to my other dd who also likes to sew, and it's one of those heavy duty workhorses that Singer used to make that will sew just about anything, maybe even metal! Yesterday there was an "easter egg hunt" to find the other accessories, some of which I am POSITIVE the dust bunnies ATE! But DH found those as well, digging under the sewing table to unearth them. There be Cams!
