Bjying a used sewing machine
When going to a yard sale - or any kind of "used" sale - things connected with sewing are usually among the first things I look at.
If I happen to see a sewing machine - if/when someone says - "Grandma never used it." - my first thought is "Why not?"
Did she not care to sew? Was the machine a lemon? Is it broken?
I would much rather purchase a machine when the seller says something like "Mom used this a lot!"
My usual reaction to an "unused/new" machine is to avoid it. How about you?
