Congrats! It took me 4-5 years of yard saling/flea marketing before I got mine - only paid $100 for her and she's in great shape.

Have fun sewing on your new FW!

My husband ask one antique dealer if he had one said he had 2 at home, one had a case, he would bring it the next day, I couldn't wait. Well the one with the case is home with me today!!!!! It is complete-all tools and book and original tube of oil in its own box for 250.00, the other complete one was 395.00 and the other machine I saw had nothing with it and some problems for 250.00. I am living Christmas again!!!!!

Wonderful, they are indeed special machines and worth every penny, no matter what you end up spending.:)

Congrats! I know you will love it as much as I love mine that my wonderful, sweet, kind, beautiful daughter got me. I was having a wonderful time this past week sewing on her, then I had to fill bobbin and re-thread. Couldn't get her to sew for ANYTHING!!!. Got my instruction book out and then it hit me----- Thread from LEFT to right. Duh. I knew that. Only excuse is, I've been using my Singer 66 Treadle and my Brother and they all thread differently. It's easy to get confused when you're....... old?
