What a great brother and a real cutie of a machine! Enjoy!

Yooper32 12-06-2011 04:10 AM

Now, that's the kind of machine in a box any sewer would love.

Debby54 12-06-2011 04:13 AM

WOW, thank goodness he wasn't one of those brothers who thought it was just JUNK
I would be making something for my brother with the machine as a big thank you

My brother also said he would swing by for coffee (Last year he got a old fish tank from me foir his turtles and told me to come to his place some time that he had a machine in a box that I was welcome to). Well, like everything else, time went by and both of us forgot about it. My DB brought the machine in the box with him when he came for coffee as he was using it for a doorstop.
OMG! OMG...could it be...
It is a smelly black case, not a box...MEN!
It turns out to be a Singer 221K, Serial # E? 598499

The drool is dripping off the corner of my mouth, and I hestitantly ask hime "How much?" Now you have to remember, times are tough and neither of us can afford extra money right now (simply because it isn't there)
He looks at me and says...are you ready...It's yours...Happy Birthday Sis.

She is a little treasure for sure. She came with oodles and oodles of bobbins, but no manual and no attachments. I downloaded the manual and over the next little while, I will surf the net, looking for attachments.

You are lucky! Always good to have another person added to the Featherweight club!

Your brother just redeemed himself from all the things he may have done when he was growing up!!!...
They can be stinkers, but sometimes they come out smelling like a rose!!!

Congrats on the new machine!!!
