I received my order from Westchester Sewing Machine Co. this morning! Yippee! They were really fast. I received the order within 3 days of ordering. They will definitely go on my recommended sites list!

I’ll be able to get the Consew in working order today – I hope! The belt pulley opening will need to be widened a bit – also, I had to swap the 50″ belt for a 53″ belt. Yeah, I chickened out on the idea of mounting the motor closer to the tabletop – I was tired and the motor was too heavy to contemplate moving – especially since it lined up with the pulley of the machine anyway. I might regret tho, as I get it together today. Tthe machine fit in the opening well. I did need to ‘dig out’ the hinge pin clearance a bit more and square off the corners where I routed them a little higher in order to get it into the right position. But this was really easy with DH’s sharp wood chisel. I just need to route out the holes for the hinge pins and she’ll be ready…. Check back with ya’ll when it’s finished later today!

Can you tell I’m excited??!!!
