I posted another thread about choosing between a 301 or a 185K and through various e-mails the seller assured me it was working great-she told me she had sewn on the machine. I met them at Lowes where the machine looked good in the case, gave them my $ drove away and pulled over after a few miles. I kick myself that I didn't look it over better, but I was excited. Guess what? No bobbin case. I e-mailed her, but I'm sure I won't hear back. The machine does run, feed dogs move etc. but my $75 find isn't such a great find anymore if I have to purchase a $35 bobbin case:< Ack.
