I recently purchased a FW right here, from this board, fully refurbished. After looking at moderate price new machines and experiencing plastic disgust, am instead now lusting for a full size Singer, plus a Singer treadle, both restored by local repair shop--comments on this board have driven new-quilter me to joyous new-fabric and old-machine acquisitions. :-D Now need more room to store same :roll: and more time to sew! Time to clean house :? ? But I want to sew! :mrgreen:
