I think the gold accents, hand painted, really elevate the decals to that "next level". There'll never be another one like her now even if someone had exactly the same decals. And putting the glossy coat over the top has improved the finish of the whole machine too. Have you ever tried your hand at the Petrykivka painting or "one stroke" folk art painting (and similar related) styles? With your love of flowers and artistic talents, coupled with your ever-increasing experience painting sewing machines, it's something I can easily imagine you doing!
Thank you! I'll have to look up examples of that painting. I'm intrigued ☺️. Looked it up! I've actually done something like that above a for in my kitchen. Your right, it would be pretty on a machine.
Thank you for posting this. I’m a fan of White FR’s and I have four, but I have never had the guts to take them apart as far as you did. I noticed the previous owner put the bobbin winder tension plate on backwards, but you caught that. You did put the thread cutter on upside down and on the wrong side of the shaft, but given this was the first time you worked on a FR, you did a great job!
I just acquired a White Rotary much like this one, and a Franklin VS as well. Both need a cleaning, if not more. Been watching many of your videos, and Considering taking an online class from Sewing Doc Academy, but wondering if I can clean the parts without an electrolysis tank? I’m willing to buy small tools, and the machines don’t seem rusty.
A little jewelry ultrasonic cleaner and an inexpensive harbor freight rotary tool with some wire brushes should be able to get you through your first few machines. Just carefully keep track of your parts and film yourself trading then off to help you understand how they go back together. Enjoy!
Love it Thak you❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it!! She is so pretty and decorated beautifully! You are Amazing!!! Great job!!

Thank you! I love her. And I think I finally mastered the clear coat so wins all over the place 😁

Thank you, I'm actually not a big fan of using the attached thread cutters, so I didn't notice 😁 they do sew amazingly smooth
Beautiful. Enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks!😅
