She's a beauty...you should have many hours of sewing with her.

Did you notice the blue ring around the Singer medallion. It is for Singer's centennial. A real find and a great hubby.

I would say he is a keeper. What a wonderful and thoughtful hubby.
Have a Blessed day

Just when you think DH's is not interested in quilting, they go and do something awesome like showing up with a FW!!!!!!! You are a blessed lady! Enjoy!

It's a beauty! It looks like it has a new cord too! So that's something you won't have to do - replace a frayed old cord :lol: Congratulations (and a "way to go' to your husband)

She is very pretty. Post a picture of your table when Hubby gets done. I would love to see it.

Congratulations!

Mary -

Congats on "joining the club." Your FW looks to be in excellent condition, and it's a Centennial. Big Brownie Points for DH.

Tweeked the bobbin tension (it was way too tight) and now the stitches are perfect. I am so excited! But that isn't all. He came home today from the same swap meet and brought home a singer treadle base. Says he is going to make it into a table so my featherweight has a place to sit. What a sweety!

Wow. A great find and glad he was looking out for you.
