He finds stuff and tells me about it!

And then I get a real bad case of the "wants"

If this is still available next time I'm going that way, I will bring it home with me!

That machine looks like it could drill for oil! What was its exact purpose. Not home sewing for sure.

It's a chain stitch embroidery machine. Watched a few videos on how the work. It would look really nice next to the hemstitcher.

Nice old machine...that would make some cool bedspreads. Little pricey, but....

I was just looking at one of those down here near Oklahoma City....

CD in Oklahoma

CD- my husband saw that one too. No idea why he was looking in Oklahoma. He kept saying it would be a better deal to get the cheaper one even with a few nights in a hotel and gas.

He's bored and ready for a road trip. I'm snowed under with work and won't have time to breath until the end of March!

I’ve seen 3 or 4 of them around my area (OK & TX) over the years, and have always been interested in them. I think that I watched something similar in action at a carnival when I was a kid. They were sewing names on cheap felt hats.

While I think they would be fun to play with, I just haven’t justified the expense in my mind yet. Hope you get one.

The nipples from the first sale are pretty valuable--about $35 a piece. This is one machine I'd like to see working up close.
