This is an approximately 4 year old singer, that when sewing the needle moves to the left. It is model #1725 that at wal-mart is about $90. The lady just emailed me today and is going to give it away. I figure that I can't go too far wrong in getting it. I know of a gentleman who does repairs out of his home for a little bit of nothing also. And if it would be too much to fix it...nothing says that I have to do so. Wouldn't really be out much in getting it but any other opinions??? Thanks. Tigger :D
