I have a 185J that's supposed to arrive on Friday from shopgoodwill.com. I'm hoping that it arrives all in one piece. I can't wait to look up the date and sew on it. Glad to hear it comes apart easily for cleaning.[/quote]
I am glad someone here got that machine! I had a long argument with myself about bidding on it, but I have my eye on another machine.

Me too. (I'm glad you got it Betty!!!) I'm just up to my eyeballs in poison ivy. This is now the third time this summer. AND I broke my baby toe. AND I have extra work I'm suppose to do.

I feel that is way to high, any feed back before I go look at it tomorrow morning? Kathie
