She is an old New Home Ruby. I got her and her treadle cabinet for $5.00. I call her my $5.00 folley. Really sad, but getting there. I also redo cabinets.

Have fun and keep us posted.

I brought the Ever Sew home last night. It is in a cute little cabinet. I am thinking "little" is good at this point. I have to re-arrange the furniture a bit now.

I won the bid at Shopgoodwill.com! I know nothing about this machine. But I thought it looked really cool and bid on it. Got it for $6.00 plus shipping - total of $23.68. Not bad. I think I might just be getting a little pathetic, now I am buying based on looks!

Nancy, that has a good variety of built in stitches if the stitch selector works - you do have to take time to figure out the system

this looks beautiful to me - I too have several old machines and have gently worked on them - one is similar to yours but I do not have a key to the "lid" - any one know where to find one?
