My A-3DW was made between 1949 and 1950. It is 60 years old and almost able to retire,,,, but not yet. This baby is not ready for pasture. At 63 I have had 2 bypass's, I have been re-knee'd and my spine has seen the knife but I doubt this little guy has ever had the cover removed. I said it before,,, I can't see how a new one would run any better. No planned obsolescence in these machines. GM, Ford and Chrysler could take some notes.
And beside that, with all the trial and error I have done I now have, what I believe to be, the largest privately held collection of feed eccentrics in the known world. I finally got my stitch down pat. Close, tight and ready for any emblem that comes along. All I have to do is practice on those corners. It appears I lack the Oriental gene required for smooth, consistant cornering but I am a mad man on square patches.

I start with about a 4-6" chain.
I start sewing with the edge under the needle.

When it comes around to the end I make sure I pull the…
