The donation of what you didn't want is fantastic! Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time.

Old Neechi's are the bomb as far as vintage machines go. Strong and wonderful.
Congrats.

I love going to estate sales and finding fabric. It always bothers me that the family doesn't want any of it or didn't learn how to sew or quilt. Neither my daughter or my granddaughter sew or quilt but they know how to and at least sew from time to time. And, I'm sure that when I pass, my daughter will want to keep every scrap. That's just the way she is.

You essentially did get all the contents free! The plastic tubs cost more than you paid for them full of fabric. Great buy.

Wow, good for you and your church group. I had a Necchi I used for about 20 years before it finally quit on me. Couldn't find another one in town until recently I found another LQ that sold them.
