I just traded meachines about 6 months ago and haven't used it much. I've been doing most of my piecing on a Singer
industrial machine (it's an absolute workhorse). I purchased my brother machine at a small town about 35 miles
from me. A yr or so ago think he charged around $30..might
be a bit more. He works out of his own shop at his home.
He's been there for ages.
