    I got them at two different sales. I have only seen one b4 at an estate sale and they were asking 400.00 and got it.

    It doesn't change the fact that she SCOREDDDDD!!!....lol
    I totally agree, My DH would roll his eyes, but he likes the machinery as much as I do. and he can fix them, I keep wishing for one.

    its not practical to keep both, we could really use the money I spend on the second one. I am sure if I really wanted to keep both I could pull it off.

    I got suzie first so she is staying and she is the older machine.

    OK so you have 2 FW on the counter, Are these the 2 that you just got or 2 additional ones.
    I agree you should play the lottery after finding 2 on the same day at different places.
    Congratulations!!!!
    I have 2 kenmores in the basement sewing area, a red eye by the front door and two featherweights on the kitchen counter. There is just no reason to keep them both.
