That would be a great one to bid on. If only I were closer. Like 3 thousand miles?

The Free sewing machines frequently had very interesting design decals, and I think the cabinets are generally prettier than the Singers.

Windblown,

I have the electric version of that machine. It sews very nicely. I wouldn't hesitate to go for that machine were I there.

Alas, it is Spokane. I saw it also Joe. Too far to go and I already have too many sewing machines.

Caroline,

"Too many sewing machines" is only a state of mind ......... my mind is in that state now.

But .... but .... but .... oh heck I'd still go for it.

Considering the price of gas ($154) and time, (10 hours) involved to get it, will pass.
