Well I am so happy I went, the first place we stopped was an estate sale, rather than a yard sale, and they had almost nothing left but just a few odds and ends in the yard, but then I saw a sign that said furniture in the house. Well, the last thing I need is furniture, but I found my self saying can I go in and look around? Guess what I found......it's not a feather weight, but it is a vintage Singer model 66-18. I got it in the cabinet for $15 and it runs too! Now DH and I have the project of getting it cleaned up and making sure everything is in tip top shape. Oh yeah I also found a vintage quilt top for $3.00. I take pictures tomorrow and post. :-D :-D :-D

Here is the update folks. I believe what I bought was a Godzilla. It is model number 66-18 and serial number AL039395 so from what I can find it is a heavy duty machine produce around 1950. It did come with the manual, one pressure foot, the foot pedal, and some bobbins. The quilt top is in pretty good shape two small holes, and I did find one spot where a seam is coming apart. Other than that it all seems to be intact.

:P :P :P :P :P

what wonderful finds!!

Woo hoo! What a nice find. I myself have never been lucky enough to find sewing/quilting things at yard sales. Yesterday my BFF called me and said she bought me something at a yard sale, it was a large box of fabric, mixed content but still lots of cottons, for only $2. I won't be able to pick it up from her until next weeek but I'm thrilled. She is an avid yard saler and keeps an eye out for me for cheap fabric.

Wow, what a great find. Lucky you.

Congratulations on your great finds! Everyone is getting great deals at the yard sales this year!!! yours was fabulous! Keep us posted on what you name your new machine, she's a beauty!

Nice score! Love the quilt top!
