Novum Sewing machine for CPHeres a link that may help, it looks like a good solid machine to me, not like the flimsy plasticy things you buy today!

Really keen now to get going.

I have some small patchwork squares, laura ashley type (but cheaper from a craft fair ), 2" sq, so thinking of making some aromatherapy cushions, something like that. Not sure yet, but once I get going....
Thanks Kathy for your help, really excited now.

Have just had a wander about the site kathy, and have found a similar manual to my old one, not the same machine but i think close enough to get me going again

Oh thats a good idea, aromatherapy cushions, ideal for using those small squares.

Spent some time deciding where to set up the sewing machine this evening, it used to have its own base but I sold that years ago because it wasn't being used enough to justify the space taken up.
So, with great excitement I declared a corner of the living room as mine, got organised and then discovered that the bobbin case is missing.
So frustrating.
Going to bed now with my library book.
Not cross at all

Calmed down now, I shall have to do a search on that website to see if I can source one. Am sure there must be something out there that will fit my old faithful.
I soooo need to get going with this for my current state of lack of sanity ..
