Heehee.. I should have just given you the machine.
Short story...
A neighbor down the street from me gave me the Touch n Sew machine for free, to do with as I wished. I sold the machine on CL to a gal only interested in the cabinet that the machine came in; she needed a small cabinet. The money from that sell went to make a quilt for someone in Joplin MO. I told my neighbor that I was making a charity quilt for someone in Joplin with the money that I received from the sell. She told me she knows of someone in Joplin that lost everything. Well, that was the person to received the quilt. From one Touch and Sew in cabinet, two were made happy: the gal that purchased the cabinet and the other to receive a quilt.
