I am going to try to send a pictures of my thrift store find.
It was 6.88 with an orange tag which meant I got it for 30%
off of that. I just had to have it. Nothing fancy but I didn't have
any decorative stitches on mine so this will help some.

AWESOME!!!! I don't care when I go into a thrift shop-evidently you girls get there before I do. I never find anything cooooool!

Score! Congrats to you!

Wheeee...good for you and happy sewing!!

WOW! What a great find. :thumbup:

very pretty machine

Great find. You just have to be there at the right time. I have a singer in the original cabinet that I bought at a second hand store for $35.00. They didn't know it had a sewing machine in it. All the attachments and instruction manual where in the cabinet. I was really lucky.

Very nice find. Does she work right?

Yipee for you!!!

There must be alot of ladies getting better sewing machines, here lately I have seen alot of basic machines in thrift stores...but not in the great condition your lil beauty is....great find congrat!

Great Find :D

Wow! What a deal!

Wow, what a deal!!! :D:D

Edit- I can't believe I wrote exactly what Latrinka wrote! hee hee

Good for you!!!

Our thrift stores have an inflated idea of what everything should be worth, then double that price.

I've never had a bargain in ours except for one that is not quite so upscale. Get a lot of sheets there, good ones for an average of $2.99 and half price on Saturdays.

Nice! You sure can't beat the price!

Way to go. You did good. And shes "colorful" even. LOL

Thrift stores here do not have anything like that or fabric. Good buy.

WOW! You sure hit the jackpot!
Have fun!

Very nice!! I think our trift stores have caught on to the sewing machine craze because I never find any...not even fabric. :(

I knew you had to be from Alabama. LOL. My favorite thrift store is in Pell City and always stop when we are traveling back and forth from Florida to Michigan. I have found some great buys and even an old 99 Singer for $6.88!! This thrift store even has a senior day every week.

Great buy!!

She needed to be adopted.

Lucky you. I can remeber when these were the bee's knees. :lol:

I know what you mean, goosepoint. I'm always a day late and a dollar short. Haha :)

Great find. And, at that price, it was almost free!!

Wow! Extremely similar to my old 9410 and my mom's 6234 from 1990. I wonder if my leftover bobbins, 1/4" "Littlefoot" and acrylic insert for my Horn table would fit it. I purchased those separately, so I didn't hand them in when I traded my machine in, thinking my mom might use them. But I her better machines instead :) I've been looking for a home for them. PM me if you are interested.

Thrift stores seem to be the in thing. Good for you!

Wow that's really cheap for such a machine. I bought an old singer #368 with a cabinet for $10 at an estate sale in Ohio

Does it have a slant needle? If it does, I may have some extra things that will go with it.

No, it is not a slant needle but thanks anyway.

Me neither!!!!! Thrift store folks----what is the secret??? Thrift store in a "nice neighborhood"???? Hitting them every day??? Please share your tricks of the trade!

Going there often is the answer. The only reason I go so much is
that it is my husbands favorite pass time. Ha! I do find things a lot
so I don't complain to much. Ha!

Congrats!

I never see anything nearly that nice in the thrift stores around here. That is a serious bargain!

Yay for you!

I have this machine and cannot part with it I love it that much I have a Brother Pacesetter and still avert back to the Singer don't figure Its just the I have had it for so long and know it well Great find for you and hope that you love it as much as I do Congrats

Whenever I go to the local Goodwill or any thrift shop I very rarely if ever find anything as great has some of you have. The only thing I've ever found was a large ziplock bag full of thread that turned out to be very bad as it broke after sewing 5-10 stitches! I ended up using it for basting my quilts with it -- even then it kept breaking. I eventually threw a lot of it in the garbage. I couldn't open the baggy as it was stappled shut. Maybe I should have done it anyway.

Great find.
