Blondal Sewing Machine

Blondal Sewing Machine

Have you ever heard of Blondal Sewing Machine?I only heard of Singer brand.

Hmmn.....Let's talk something about it.I bought this from my brother a few days ago at a very cheap price.Seventy-five percent of the price that he bought originally.He bought for his wife to learn sewing but his wife wasn't interested.I 've never use an electronic sewing machine before nor am I interested.All I have is this old simple sewing machine:

I've been using this for years.It is very simple and reliable.Not that I knew sewing very well or know how to sew clothes but a sewing machine even old fashioned, can comes in handy.There are times when my children uniforms zipper got spoilt,their pants torn  apart and sometimes the new long pants need altering.I can even sew a simple curtains for my home and make handbags.As to say,I do not mind even if I don't have a modern type of sewing machine,except for one thing,that is,it needed space and I don't have enough space to put it that I've to squeeze it in my room.
Now,what am I to do with two sewing machines at home?Shall I sell one away?Which one shall I sell?Let's see!If I sell the old one,I can save space and make my room more spacious.If I sell the new one,I can get in profit.Undecided,I kept both until time will tell whether I want to sell or not to sell.

I've no idea of how to thread this sewing machine.It has no instructions book to follow.Searching the internet doesn't help much as most people would only talk about their new sewing machines rather than give instructions.After days of searching and trying I finally found on youtube something similar to my one.Thanks to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7cNgJLya1Mhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7cNgJLya1M,now I finally knew how to thread the sewing machine.I'm now on my way to sewing new curtains.At the moment,is only the basic seam cos I still got a lot to learn about the different types of stitches.
