In his effort to improve my quota of sewing machines, my husband over bought several machines from ST Vinnie's. Once I picked what I wanted to keep, I fixed up, oiled and lubed several machines and then gave them back to St. Vinnie's for resale with a note that they definitely worked.

I gave a perfectly good Morse machine to our local Salvation Army Women's shelter. (I know it was dumb to get rid of it but it was soooo heavy and I bought a Kenmore that was lighter). They were excited to get it.
