Rebuilding A Website?!?!?!?!?
Hey Reader! I am shaking my head at the undertaking I've jumped into with this move for the website. It's been a lot!! I've had to learn a whole new platform but the good news is it is forcing me to fix up and expand guides written years ago. So there may be a few hiccups but if you bear with us while we renovate it will be worth it for all of us!
On The Blog
A pop-up on each page lets you know we are under renovation. The homepage is setup, minus some pictures. It should give you a quicker way to get to the posts you are looking for. The guides aren't done yet but the navigation is good to go!
The following pages are good to go:
β
- βSinger Sewing Pageβ
- βSewing Machines - We now have a blog page just for sewing machines
- βResources - We also now have a resource page if you forget where we buy stuff. Shopping through our links is an easy way to support our work.
- βNecchi Pageβ
- βAbout Page - This has been the worst part of the entire process. lol I hate writing about myself but having that information let's people know it's a real person behind the website and not AI.
The following articles are good to go:
β
- βSewing Machine Oilβ
- βSinger 301β
- βSewing Machine Hook Systemsβ
- βCleaning Tension Disksβ
- βSinger Models by Year - I found some new models and the new format allows the chart to be larger!!
- βNecchi BUβ
- βSinger 27β
- βSinger vs Brotherβ
Before We Go
I want to thank you so much for being here. If it wasn't for you Paul and I would just be talking to each other about old sewing machines. I know this move is frustrating for you as well so I can't say thank you enough for sticking through it with us.

Hey Reader! How's your summer going? I hope you are getting to enjoy some sunshine. The blog is coming along, I thought it was going to be more like an episode of Trading Spaces but it has turned into a full blown reno. It had good bones at least. lol On The Blog The homepage is 90% good to go, I don't have the guides made yet. If there's a pretty picture that blog post is good too go! I've even added some videos to some of them, like the Singer Merritt 2404. I wrote a mini-bio of myself so...
Hey Reader I realize it's been a month or two since I've popped into your inbox for some of you. I hadn't realized how long it had been until I got a sweet email asking if I was OK since I hadn't sent an email or posted anything on social media. I've had my nose to the grindstone these last few months so anything that wasn't pre-scheduled didn't get created. What have I been up to you ask? I'm getting ready to move my entire website to a new host. My original plan was to keep going as usual...
Hey Reader I hope 2022 is off to a good start for you! I wanted to get you caught up on what is going on here in The Quilting Room. Just a reminder I don't send emails out unless I have something to new to say. A lot of what has been going on with the blog has been updating old posts to make them better for everyone. I just finished taking a class on how to make Google happy with my posts so they will show them to new people when they search for something I write about. There is a lot going...
