I'm jealous too. I have been looking. During the search I did find a old Bernette for $25.00 so I can't complain. But it is still not a featherweight!

I have one of those." She sat it on the cabinet and opened it. I do not know how much she wants for it but it is beautiful. It is in wonderful shape.
You better go grab it. I don't live that far from Weatherford. LOL
I would, except that I already have so many. I have my featherweight, a singer 301-a, a treadle 221-2, a singer 66, a 185k , a singer quantum futura ce-200 and a bernina record 830, and a babylock companion. I thought that the next step, if I got another one might be divorce court.I love sewing machines.

Congratulations on your adoptee. :lol:
thank you Dottie bug
