For my birthday which is tomorrow I was able to find a very reasonably priced white featherweight which I have been actively searching for. With my wonderful hubby's birthday present blessings I also paired it up with a brand new Juki Pearl MO-654DE. I have never used a serger before and I haven't a clue how to use it but I want to make drapes for the whole house so I figure it is a great start. I will find a class to take first so I don't mess up too badly on my first project.
I was striking out all over the place trying to bid on the white featherweights on ebay and I also was quickly shot down on the 'make offers'. I was getting a little discouraged, well that's not true. Actually I was getting a LOT discouraged. I forgot I had made an offer on one that had free shipping the day before but I hadn't heard back so I thought he didn't like my offer either, but he did! He accepted my offer!!! WOO HOO. This is his picture of the machine I won, and a stock picture of the Juki. The FW doesn't come with much, just the case, controller, bobbin case and one bobbin. For the price though I am totally okay with that and will purchase the other items I need for it. Soooo
I am pretty much done buying sewing machines. I do need some better cabinets and some cases so will still be searching for those and the ever desirable Penguin foot, accessories and things of that nature to put them all together and make whole so I can rehome them. The only machine I would put on my list now would be a Cinderella and I do love some of the older little ones I have seen here with the cute little feet on them. But for now I am very happy with my current collection and now I need to start quilting and sewing again. I will probably be spending more time in the quilting sections now..hehe
