Oh, and yes virginia, there IS also a "Fabrics Anonymous", complete with their 12 Steps! What a hoot!! Check 'em out here:

I have 401-A--my first machine. 2 years ago, for its 50th birthday, I took it for it's first repair. the belt was slipping and needed replaced.
never had a problem, and sewed my school clothes, kids clothes, and grandkids clothes. Have a viking now, but would never part with my 401A. HUMMM-wonder why the feed dogs still are in great shape, and my viking is on it's 2nd set, and really need to be replaced again. don't make 'em like they used to.

I have one that my husbands uncle sold me for $25, he said it was his moms who earned money sewing dresses for ladies. They had originally taken it to the Pfaff dealer to use for a trade in and she wouldn't take it. I love it. I bought a foot for quilting free motion from Little Foot in Texas. this machine quilts better than my bernina. Its set up in my living room so I can sew on it while my husband watches TV.

Oooh I am exited. I thought I had lost this deal because the guy didn't answer. I just got an email. He was out of town and his phone is off when he is gone.
We'll go up there Saturday to get that machine. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
Yeepee!!!!!
