Thanks Jeanette! I already have three machines but i couldn't pass this one up. She does seem like she would be a good basic machine. Sometimes you just need a basic machine without all the fancy stitches and stuff, right? The funny part of this is just two nights prior to the rummage sale, my managers daughter asked me if i wanted to sell her one of my sewing machines. I laughed and said no but asked what type of machine she wanted - was she going to just do basic sewing or did she want to be able to quilt and so all kinds of fancy stuff. she just wants a machine to do some alterations on some of her clothes. Her family is from India and they have the most beautiful dresses. She didn't have time the last time she was over there to get hers altered. When I told her I bought one for $1 she didn't believe me! I am not going to sell/give this little beauty to her but I did tell her I would keep my eye out if I saw something.
