I've been wanting one for about 20 years and this weekend I went to a quilter's estate sale and they had two. I picked the prettier one and I think it's a 221.
They told me it worked. I think they're right...but the bobbin case is missing! I almost cried. I'd already paid and brought it home and I feel like a fool for not checking since they told me it worked.
i contacted the seller and she said they'd refund my money if I wanted but she doesn't know where the bobbin case is. She knows her mom was using this machine until right before her death and she saw bobbin cases on eBay for $30.
Ive done enough reading to know I don't want a cheap eBay one...can someone point me in the right direction?
