Congratulations on your accomplishment!!!!
If it were me I would buy an entire collection of vintage machines but I am an enabler when it comes to the vintage machines. :mrgreen: But I would consider buying a Singer 500A loaded with all of the accessories and taking the rest of the money and buying fabric and what not. You can get a super nice one with everything for around $300 or less. Even though the machine was built in 1962 for only one year I would put it against any high end Bernina (like the new 830) and send it back to school. For a machine that is almost 50 years old that is saying something!!
