I love reading about all you gals & guys sewing machine finds. I always thought I did not need or want another machine. I have a Janome 6600 MC Professional and just love it. Also have a Elna 2006. It's a simpler machine than the 6600 and not computerized. So why no I need another one. After determining that I don't need one, just want one I feel like going on the hunt. Husband and I are going to South Padre Island, TX for 6 weeks and we are taking his pickup soooooooooooo that means more room. We are going to stop at every thrift, treasure shop, or whatever and I will keep my eyes open for sewing machines. Of course, I would like the coveted Featherweight but any older Singer would be a possibility. Anyway, wish me luck hunting from Minnesota to the southern most tip of Texas. Will keep you informed if I find anything.
