I joined "Quilting Board" today. I like this place already. In 2011, while browsing through a GW store, I saw a sewing machine case on a bottom shelf. Inside was a Pfaff 230 Dial-a-stitch. At that time, I had no idea what I had found..only that it took all of my strength to load the thing into the tiny buggy. I named it my "Battle Ship". Ordered a manual, took the machine apart, cleaned it, oiled it and put it back together. Whoever donated this machine, I just want to say "Thank You so very much"!! I am currently reupholstering a chaise lounge chair using this machine. MY computer sewing machine can not begin to compete with my under $20. Battleship.
