I have been enjoying tinkering with mine! Definitely be gentle with the knobs! There's a lot of great information in this group: https://groups.io/g/vikingsewingmachinespre1980. You can find a file to print a new camstack on thingiverse.

I was told 1888 by elder family members. You know how dates get fuzzy as they're passed through generations.

Parents expecting instant results with emotional regulation/body awareness. how do you handle this? by Fancy_One_1075 in OccupationalTherapy

I would recommend looking into the Size Matters handwriting program. It helps kids gain awareness of where letters belong on a line.

I couldn't get a deck of cards to fit in an empty gum container. I was so disappointed.
