I love these! Any chance the bag would be tough enough to carry the machines? Maybe some of the lighter ones anyway... Are they lined? Fully quilted? Inquiring minds....

Wait,..there's a way to tell if they're part coyote? We've long suspected that with our female dog. (supposedly a Husky Shepherd cross) The male was advertised as a Husky collie cross, but when I...

Here, a machine in that sort of shape that isn't a centennial, or a blackside, or with the Singercraft and other accessories lists around $75 - 100.

Blackside, Centennial, and a Singercraft Guide that looks whole. That is, if...

There's a really good chance that Restor-A-Finish in the right color and some Feed'N'Wax would take care of that. It looks better than my 27's treadle did when I brought it home, and that's all I've...

A -good- yogurt should do the trick for this as well. Many of them will list acidolphilus and bifidus on the label, and with the flavors, it's like a treat. Easy to administer. :)
