​Vintage Singers and Beautiful Quilts (free event)
Saturday, October 19, 2019
10 am to 1 pm
@Bethlehem Lutheran Church , Florence Wisconsin

VINTAGE SINGERS
 We will explore Lori Friberg's more than 20 vintage Singer Sewing Machines and have the privilege of seeing nearly a century’s worth of Singer Sewing Machines, from an early VS “Sphynx” model treadle (1890’s), to the Singer 503 “Rocketeer” zig zag (1960’s). Find out why these cast iron beauties are prized by sewists and quilters for precise straight stitching, as well as ease of use, reliability, and maintenance.   Singers have been synonymous with quality since the first Singer was built in 1850. By 1860, Singer was the largest manufacturer of sewing machines. 
 
Lori will allow us to try our hand with several different models, from treadle, to handcrank, to electric. Some machines will be available for sale.

OPEN SEW!   Come finish a quilt or several - plenty of time to sew on some of those UFO's and get help in the process - get unstuck - get help - get finished!  Come for a couple of hours or all day, come and go as you please.

There is no charge for OPEN SEW as it is not a class per se, just a time to work on your on-going projects with a group of wonderful gals.  We will, however, accept a small donation for the use of the church facility.   Thank you!
