That's a great idea Teddybear Lady. I worked in a women's prison Work Release program years ago, and one of the women had no money and was able to make her cloths on an old Singer. They were very nice. And she showed others how to sew. All these suggestions are so good. May I be bold and suggest that others may have old machines that aren't "collectibles" and may want to share them. Again, you all are very good people. Gary
