Can you imagine if I hadn't had that conversation about FW's that day??? It might still be in it's box in her bedroom closet!!
It always pays to tell everyone you meet about looking for the old machines. I was talking about sewing and how much I love the old machines to my dental hygienist, while getting my teeth cleaned, and she happened to have a Singer 99, that belonged to her grandmother, with a beautiful Bentwood cover. She GAVE it to me the next time I was at the dentist!! She had been thinking of giving it to a rummage sale :shock:
I'm a foster mom, also. My foster kids love to look at my vintage machines and they are especially thrilled with the little featherweight. So tiny and cute :-D
