Thanks, Judy

Thanks
Thanks
The $300 you paid is normal. That is the going rate around here for a FW - and more. You did good.

Can someone tell me what a "set of irons are? Thanks
I'm SEW stoked. I spent the night assembling my 31-15 treadle, in anticipation of using the larger workspace for fm quilting my now basted bargello, and the larger queen-size quilt for DD. I was missing a bracket, so I 'improvised' with two spring-loaded curtain rods that hold up the two extended leafs. I can't believe the extra workspace I got, and I'm anxious to give it a spin. I did a tryout of fm, and that's the last picture of the set: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...03630418ObsSzP It's not perfect, but it is functional AND original. I named my machine Bubba. :)

Bubba looks good. I will have to remember that trick. Are those your fingerprints on Bubba?

Well, looks like I have to quit machine cleaning for a while tonight. My son brought his dogs over so I can dog sit for a "while". I was going to continue cleaning but one was trying to steal the toothbrush and the other one was trying to eat the mothers mag cleaner. My two know better.
