The sewing gods were in your corner yesterday -- that's quite the single trip haul. Enjoy!

Wow, you did great! Have fun with your new toys!

I am going to look up what the moon signs were in when you went out; then I'll be looking for a show of this type. I do LOVE to find awesome deals like this; and so does my husband. You only spent about $100 that whole weekend, huh?????

That table looks a lot sturdier than my Joann's one. Nice job!

You got awesome things! Be sure to check around the bobbin area for threads. When I got one of my 301-A's, it had several threads that were caught and keeping it from going properly. Now she sews like a dream. Enjoy your goodies!

Is that a Bernina 730 and what's wrong with it?
You got a whopper of a bargain at that sale. Joe
The part that makes me crazy is there's one shop in the city I keep hearing about bad tuneups. She took it to them because it was running slowly and not sewing well a couple of years ago. The brushes were nubs. She said when it came back it was still too slow, but it sewed.... its so seized right now, I doubt they did much, barely oiled it, there's practically no residue. This one's going to be a lot of work, and that's IF I can get it going. She was going to take it back to them and give it to them for parts. She said I could have it instead. :) She wanted to buy a new machine that just worked, so I'm going to take a machine I have here that's tuned up and read to go and give it to her, regardless of whether I get this one working or not.

Total spent yesterday was $51. There's a LOT of elbow grease needed on all of this stuff though. |
WoW! You hit the Jack-pot today! Awesome!

Some things are/not meant to be. Looks like you made out like a fat rat. LOL! Gives me an idea. I know someone wanting to sell their folding table. Need to call them now. Thanks!
|
Awesome haul. I imagine the 730 had a cracked nylon gear? My 830 came with one. But, these machines are worth the parts and repairing.
|
Lucky you!!!!!

Tammi,
That's too bad about the Bernina. Sounds like some one just beat the stuffings out of it. Joe |
The cam stack gear will cost you $100 plus the part to replace (at least around here that's the price). I did it myself, but it's not an easy fix. The cam gear crack will make it hard to turn.
