I've been wanting and waiting for this machine! Isn't she pretty?! She is a 1890 Frister & Rossmann, Manufactured in Germany. A handcrank with a Transverse Shuttle.
It's an early Christmas present from my wonderful husband and I am so thankful and delighted!
The day she arrived, I literally jumped out of my seat when the delivery man rang my doorbell! Just like the children on Christmas morn running to gather in the living area to open presents! I was so excited! She was wrapped and packaged very well! So much so, that it maybe took me a good 20 minutes to get to her! Really, I broke out in a sweat!
She runs like a charm!
Until next time....

She is just gorgeous Stacy. Frister and Rossmanns have a wonderful personality and the quality of German machines is up there with the best. Enjoy her :-)

Oh Stacy, that machine is simply GORGEOUS! You deserve it *smiles*
OMG, that is SO cool!! I love it! What a great Christmas present!!
Merry Christmas to you! How exciting, although it looks too complicated for me. LOL Hey, do you have that new grandbaby yet?!
Thank you ladies for your nice comments! I will certainly enjoy this machine! As of 12/12/2009, we're still waiting on the grandbaby! He's late!
Wow! She is a beauty! Very fancy embellishments! Will you actually use her?
I just purchased a transverse shuttle bobbin machine similar to the one in your post here. I am trying to figure out how to get the bobbin thread up where it needs to be. Do you have any tips to help me out??
