I know there are some sewing machine enthusiasts.
I found this machine for $55 is it worth it? Know anything?

FMQ is free motion quilting (using the darning foot, feed dogs down).
If this machine were here in Aus. it would go for way more than that....probably around $150.00 plus. However, it's not, so I will leave it up to your fellow Americans for a more realistic opinion. Smitty is right, they have really messed up the cabinet, the paint job is very poor, to bring it back would need quite a bit of paint stripper and a lot of elbow grease. Personally I prefer my vintage machines in original untouched condition, even if a bit "rough". At least you don't have to fix what others have dabbled with.
