My thoughts exactly when I purchased a hand crank Singer from another quilter who's grandmother had just died; she didn't have use for it and was hoping to find someone who could appreciate it. In the meantime, I was asking around for someone who might have just such a machine, one that looked like the one my grandmother had! A match made in Heaven by our LQS.
I really wanted one so I could sew anywhere. My boyfriend has a 1962 T-bird and loves to go to antique car shows with it. Old cars are fun, just not my "thing." Joking said to him one day that I wish I could sew while he wandered. Hence my search. We get to try out our new plan in a few weeks at the first car show of the year. Wish me luck!
