I didn't buy it. I saw it at an antique store today. They wanted $50.00 for it, but I was just really unsure about it, as I had never seen anything like it. It was just sitting there, all by itself. No foot pedal, or anything, the cord only stuck out about 3 inches from the machine. If what I saw about the 24-80 was correct; it is a chain stitching machine like pinkCastleDh stated, and I don't believe there is a bobbin area. I may have to go back and pick her up; just because she's pretty. Any opinions on whether I should or not?
