I collect these adorable toy and miniature machines. I have about 40 right now. I paid from $12.00 up to several hundred (plus shipping). I love to restore them and get them up and running. They ALL sew - a really nice chain stitch. (I do have one that sews a regular lock-stitch). Beware - this can become extremely addictive. I find I am always smiling when I pass one of these (all are on display somewhere in my home so I can enjoy them).
