Found a listing on craigslist of a moving sale where it listed a sewing machine. There was a phone number and I asked what kind and how much and was told it was a Singer in a cabinet and she only wants $20. I was assured it works fine, she just won't have room or something. Anyway, she is holding it for me to pick up on Saturday. I figure I would blow $20 on the chance it might be something.

So do you think I am crazy? I will post pics when I get it!

Did she say it was an OLD Singer?? Working or not, it sounds like a steel at $20.00! Not Crazy!!

I did ask her how old it was and she couldn't tell me other than it was made of all metal - not one of the new plastic kind! I am torn between being excited and nervous!

For $20 I'd take the risk!
