How do you explain it to DH??? Guess it depend on what makes his heart go pitter pat. ;-) Can't wait to see pics of your new rescue baby. How exciting! What a great guy! If he finds another can I have it? |
Sweet, I have yet to find a sewing machine in the trash (notorious gleaner) but I have scored a few sewing machine cabinets and sold them and bought machines with the money. And I found 2 full rolls of upholstery material had to be 25 or so yards on them each, and designer fabric! My neighborhood throws away good stuff!

Would love to find something like that in a dumpster.
You are so lucky Looking forward to seeing pictures. |
I believe you can get on the Singer site and enter the model number and find out what you have.I don't have the web address but I'll bet someone on this site will have it.

Tell your hubby it's like finding a '57 chevy parked alongside the road with only a little superficial rust.. and a couple of tears in the upholstery and a something minor wrong with the engine.. then finding a note saying.. keys are in her.. if you can get her running she's yours. He'll understand then.
