Happy Dance for you! I was camping in Tyler last weekend and had the computer. Never thought to check Craigslist. Went to the quilt show. Loved it! Wondering if you were there.

So I called and told the man we would take it and would be right over to pick it up. We had to go to Tyler about 40 miles from us,and when we got there he told us that he had his moms machine also if we were interested. pulled it out of a case and bless pete it was a black 301 long deck . I ask how much for it and about fainted when he said he would 25.00 for it also. You know I got that one too. Then he said his mom had some kind of sewing table in the garage, and low and behold, it was a featherweight table . I ask how much and when he said 20.00 You know I got that too. Boy what a lucky day we had. I am sooooo excited I can hardly sit still . I just had to tell you all. Oh by the way I have already sewed on both machines and they are perfect.

My gosh, how can one person be so darn lucky? It sure was your lucky day. Hope you also bought a Lotto ticket, can you imagine?

goaf1968 04-02-2011 04:00 AM

See, things do happen in three's -- congrats on the finds!

cjaye44 04-02-2011 04:21 AM

Craigs List can be such a treasure trove at times!! One of the best things about it is that you can see what you are buying which you can't do on E-Bay. And I've met some of the nicest people that way. BTW, congratulations on your finds...I know you are a happy camper!!!

#1piecemaker 04-02-2011 04:29 AM

Lucky you!!! You have been blessed!!

Congratulations on your great deals! Enjoy using them.

wvdek 04-02-2011 05:48 AM

Woohoo! Enjoy your windfall.

ljptexas 04-02-2011 05:54 AM

Boy, oh, boy, did U find a bunch of deals!! I can't seem to find any like that. For a yr or so I have avoided garage/estate sales because I'd see something I'd like to have but do not need, so I avoid the temptation. Alto I would like to go see if they have any material or finds like yours.

WOW! :shock: What a deal! What a steal! :thumbup: Hope you know that you have two really awesome and wonderful sewing machines there! :thumbup: I was excited to get one for $75 recently. I found a tan short bed, no cabinet and was thrilled. Have fun sewing. :D They make a beautiful stitch and are so quiet, too. I just got a box of parts and accessories in the mail yesterday and was so excited.

Score!!

MarieM 04-02-2011 06:14 AM

The sewing machine gods were smiling on you.

Wow! You can't beat that with a stick!!! :thumbup:

redbugsullivan 04-02-2011 06:21 AM

Darlin', you nearly brought me to tears! Imagine how happy his mom would be. Someone that would love her sewing things like she did.

Just curious. What does a Featherweight table look like?

WI Rose 04-02-2011 07:15 AM

Wow, nice deals. Happy for you.

debbieumphress 04-02-2011 07:19 AM

You are so lucky you beat all the quilters up in Quitman to the punch. I don't use Craig's list personally as I don't like to look thru it all and usually it's always gone when I do so........ Glad people find such wonderful deals on there. Congrats.♥♥

MarshaEIEIO 04-02-2011 07:19 AM

Congrats! I have TWO 301's, and a two friends that each have one and we love them for piecing! I clean, oil and lube them regularly and they hum and are darling! One is in a cabinet like yours and one is portable I take to the quilt shop classroom for sewing once a month,,,love, love, love my 301's! I am a huge fan, so good luck with yours!
