wow, glad i am not alone, i should let dh read this thread, he thinks i am nuts, i buy every reasonable neat looking machine i see. I have a treadle, a FW (born same year as me), Janome gem, kenmore, 2 brothers,a Simplicity, a White-Westinghouse, plus 4 toy machines, a dressmaker and 3 that don't work, old ones. Can't pass up a good deal.
