Found a Class 15 clone (Universal) near me in a gorgeous cherrywood cabinet in great shape for $100. Had to buy it. Husband got it oiled and tuned up. Then I saw a Johnson Ruffler online and offered $250. Accepted. Who doesn't want a dedicated ruffler? Then was offered someone's Featherweight for a song. Well, why not? My main sewer is a Viking 1+ and I just put a used Janome 500E embroidery machine on layaway.

And dear lord, I'm now looking at a Willcox & Gibbs chain stitch. My husband goes between thinking I'm nuts and being rather fascinated with the old machinery.

I am a vintage dealer so it comes naturally. My main sellers are jewelry and clothing, but I do venture into knitting machines as I'm an avid knitter. So I guess vintage sewing machines are a natural spinoff.

This is addicting, y'all!
