i need to find an old one to "Button Up", it would look nice on my sewing room wall

SueDor 08-22-2010 02:57 PM

Good find!

Wow Carrie.... Maybe you could even paint polka dots on it and sell it for an outrageously high price! It's cute!

Maybe I can find sunflower buttons to put on it. Maybe I don't need a cord after all.

Great buy Carrie. Hope you can find a cord.

I looked it over and all the parts move and it has it's bobbin case intact. He said i will take $2.00. So I brought it home.
If I can't find a cord for it then I might decorate it with buttons like the one that was posted on here before.

No, no...it has to be sea shells or rhinestones! LOL

I kind of figured you weren't....but the seashells on that one machine were just so over the top, I couldn't resist teasing you.... :-)

Oh, you'll find a cord no doubt, and it's such a great story!! (What kind of plug is it? We'all might have one like what you need...)
And I'm laughing over here at the image of the 65mph fly-by. I thought you were going to say the tires screeching could be heard over the next hill and the smoke was visible in Dallas!!
Haha!

Seriously, won't it be fun to get her all up and running, and make a mini sampler on her, and display them together?
