My Grandmother's White Rotary
This is my "project" for the moment. My grandmother owned this White Rotary Sewing Machine. When she died it passed into my mother's possession, and now, since my mother has moved to...









Re: My Grandmother's White Rotary
Thank you so much. I had thought about ebay and craig's list, but I guess I am reluctant to let it go. Your comments are helping me get my thoughts straight about this.

I love the concept, but wondered if you could show a picture of the garment? I can't quite picture it in my mind?

Cool! My grandma and great-grandmother were professional quilt makers for upscale families in Louisville, KY, many years ago. Some of their personal quilts have lovely applique, but I never knew how it was done. Thanks to your illustration, now I do!

I love this idea because it is always so hard to find an appropriate belt. I'm thinking of experimenting with 3-4 times the waist measurement. If the cords are each marked with a thread at intervals according to the waist measurement (i.e. 26" waist, so mark a length of cord every 26 inches before braiding), when it is finished that should give me an idea of how much cord would be needed for future projects.
