I am literally beside myself with what fell into my lap yesterday. Hubby and I were coming home from the automotive store and were about to pass the Goody store and he just pulled in. Hmmm - OK. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth I went in and zoomed to the back of the store where the fabrics are and hit the jackpot (in the pictures) for $5.00. Hubby wandered the store and came to tell me there were a couple of sewing machines over in the corner. Naturally my buggy and I wandered over there and there was a Singer (plastic) in a cute little cabinet, a Kenmore (light green but missing it's entire top) and a closed cabinet which I, of course, opened. Imagine my surprise and absolute delight to see a Bernina (oldie but goodie). I had one of the boys plug her in and she ran beautifully and I never hesitated. $40 and a couple of drawers full of thread, notions and a bunch of attachments. No manual but I have downloaded that from the Bernina pages - it's a Bernina 930 Record (last of the electrics before they went computerized). Am I tickled - don't you know it - I must be doing something right! :lol: :lol: :thumbup:
