Have fun junkin today Charlee, what part of my coast are you on?
Mary, this board is extremely enabling! I started with a Spartan I found at a yard sale in early 2010. I posted here to see what I had as I thought it was really cute! Now, I have machines in a little 8x20 ocean going cargo unit set up as a little sewing machine museum for the machines that don't fit in the house - but, are just too nice to give up! I have really cut down on buying/accumulating machines, though, now I am really picky about what I want. I pass a lot of machines up at yard/garage/thrift store sales! I am thinning my herd too - down to the machines I really like or use. Once you have been doing this for a while, you will find there are machines that you just have to have and others not so much - so you will get picky!
