I have a New Home Rotary (gorgeous!), a Singer 401A (currently a project - can't get the dials to move yet), a Singer 66 Red Head (paint is bad so it may not be a good one to keep), a Singer 24 (PERFECTION in this little treadle, looks and function... just got a new belt for her!) and a Brother (plastic, not my favorite!).

Last night I added a dusty old Featherweight 221 and a 99k that also needs finish work. Oh! I almost forgot my Davis Rotary - very pretty but needs remodeling - the electrical is all jacked up.

Shhhh... don't tell my mom. I won't even get down to Fremont to get my hair done!

You picked up that FW! That is fantastic! I saw it, but I'm not into FWs. I kept saying the right person will come for it soon ( it had been up on CL for 3 or 4 days). Congrats! Sounds like you have a wonderful understanding husband. That was a long trip for you. Enjoy your machines!
