Sewww, I said, 'here' you can take this one home if we can get it in your minivan. Which we did. By the time I was next visiting her, I was cleaning it for her and by that time, I also had learned more and realized I had given her my best vintage machine. She doesn't use it very much yet. I love her so much and am glad she has it but sometimes (just sometimes) I wish I had given her another machine. :oops: :oops: :-D
Sewextreme, you did the right thing giving that Redeye to your DIL. The Redeye was was one of the most produced machines Singer ever made so you can always find another one! It sounds like you have a very special DIL! I love to hear these stories. There are so many people who have daughters-in-law that they don't get along with! I am lucky to have two great DILs.
