titleA White Ribbon For a Sewing Machine With Character/titlecategory4/categoryJanet was the proud owner of an antique sewing machine. It was one of her pride and joy to show off her machine in fairs and antique shows. Her husband, Jim, had other feelings about the sewing machine because he was the one who had to pack and empty out the machine. His wife would stand over him and require him not to scratch the cabinet. Her worrisome voice screamed each time Jim moved the machine to get in their car.
In September, the State Fair of Texas opened. The fair presented an antique show. Janet was requested to show her a href=http://www.antiquesingersewingmachines.net/Singer sewing machines/a at the fair. She had grand hopes that her machine would win a white ribbon. She took dusted and greased her machine. She wanted her Singer to function perfectly at the show. She found thread that was made the same year the antique machine was manufactured. She wanted everything to be perfect. Instead of using her car to carry her machine, she had Jim lease a Ford pick-up truck. She was not going to trust Jim’s loading the machine in her car.
She carefully wrapped her machine in blanket to make certain the machine and cabinet would not be dented. She had Jim load the machine on the floorboards of the pickup. Jim wanted to strap the Singer sewing machine against the back wall of the pick-up. However, Janet protested against this idea thinking it would break the machine’s cabinet. She demanded that he put the machine in the middle of the bed and fasten it with minimal ties.
As Janet drove the truck to the State fair, she wondered if the judges would know all the particulars of a href=http://www.antiquesingersewingmachines.net/vintage/vintage Singer sewing machines/a and how uncommon her Singer model was. While driving, she drove into a big pot-hole that jerked the truck. With a big crash the antique sewing machine hit the bed of the truck. Janet screamed in shock as she saw her showpiece lying in the back of the truck.
Janet unwrapped her precious sewing machine discovered scratches and dents in the cabinet. When she opened the cabinet up thread spool was bent and the foot petal was jammed. Her hopes for a first place win seemed to be gone forever. Jim encouraged her to enter her machine and pay no attention to the damages.
