She's a beauty! The machine is from my Mum's friend Doreen. Thanks Doreen. Unfortuantly she is quite elderly and her sight has deteriorated considerabley so she is unable to sew any more. She made the thing on the front to put your pins in as you go along, and even keeps an elastic band on the cotton, though I can't remember why! I am yet to use it, and you know what's stopping me....the cotton's black. I am too scared to change it to white. I have watched some You Tube videos.
I am going to have to set aside an afternoon and get my head round it! Give me technology, I am fine. Give me a sewing machine I am scared! I need to get my quilt finished and get my bunting done! My mum did me half of it at the weekend, and I need to do the red flags for it. She'll be annoyed if I don't get it done as she asked for it for me.
Maybe this is why I am struggling, How sexist!

Thanks for the comments I had on the other posts! I was so pleased!

You are very lucky to get such a little jem. Jones machines are good workhorses. Hope you get your head round the rethreading, doesn't your mum know how its done as she was helping with the bunting? It really isn't that hard, sometimes there are even arrows on the machine or numbers showing you which way to thread it. Good luck, you will have loads of fun once you get over your fear.

My daughter uses her MIL's old machine and says it works better than her new one!
The housewife instruction is hilarious!! Made me chuckle!
Hi, I have this sewing machine but can't find any instructions for it, have you any tips or do you by any chance know the model?
Love your blog
