Also...a few years ago there was a younger person at work who really wanted to sew but could not afford a sewing machine. I wanted to help her out so I GAVE her a brand new Singer still in the box. (I had purchased that machine on a really good clearance at Sears for $35. Didn't need it but thought I would give it to our 4h sewing club.). To make a long story short...imagine my surprise a few months later to see on FB that the co-worker was offering the sewing machine for sale...still in the box...never used. I was really ticked off.
