Technical hitch.

While doing some free embroidery on Friday my machine decided it had had enough so it has gone to the hospital to be assessed and to have a rest.I have a Frister and Rossman 904 which was state of the art in 1976 when we bought it with our tax rebate for getting married.I consigned it to its box about 5/6 years ago on acquiring my new machine,so I decided to get it out as I need to be able to sew .Guess what? ....... it worked first time .I suppose I always did lavish it with oil and cleaning so I am really pleased .I've bought a free machine foot for it and will be putting it back into service.It takes a weightlifter to haul it about but after thirty odd years it's still going strong.Things were built to last back then.
