Good grief- just when I'm determined not to start a new collection another pretty machine catches my eye! At that price I couldn't have resisted, thinking I'd run into Someone Somewhere who would love to have it. Trying to stay focused on treadles since they are the most endangered species, although I need to consider downsizing the herd as I'll likely move to smaller quarters in a year or two. I have a Necchi upstairs which I think is the same as auntpiggylpn's, and it's shape was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pretty Alden. I'm so envious of the great finds posted here!
