It's soooo pretty and looks in very good shape! Good price, too.

Oh what a lucky find!!! My mother had the same machine and seeing yours takes me down memory lane.

Very nice

Nice machine :D:D:D

Great find, good price and beautiful machine. We don't have estate sales around here, we have auctions and unfortunately the auctioneer is also into antiques so he knows the value on most things. He starts them at almost the true value of the item, so no bargains here. Enjoy yours it looks like you have enough accessories and needles to last a while anyway.(smile)

Wow, that is quite the good find! Enjoy!

Nice. I would have let DH either wait in the car or just pay for a large amt of fabric so I could go through it later

I have the same machine only in a different cabinet. It is a workhorse.

jrharry 07-17-2011 11:11 AM

Congrats! You got a nice machine.

The last vintage machine I want before I stop buying is a 401 or a 501. I am torn between being happy for you and being jealous. Good looking machine and cabinet! You did well!

Great find...love the cabinet...great price

buckeyed 07-17-2011 01:02 PM

Good find!!

deedum 07-17-2011 02:56 PM

I would have given them a bit more to throw in all the fabric, pay and run. My plan of action when we have our dh's with us! You did good!

Ann L 07-17-2011 03:08 PM

How nice. I would have taken DH home and gone back if it wasn't too far. The cabinet is exceptionally nice.

Ann L 07-17-2011 03:08 PM

OOPS, double reply.

nyelphaba 07-17-2011 03:18 PM

You will love that machine. I have one, it is a work horse, and practically perfect in every way.

annthreecats 07-17-2011 03:35 PM

Wow, that's a nice machine and cabinet. Enjoy!

tellabella 07-17-2011 03:55 PM

Very nice condition...enjoy!

PurplePassion 07-17-2011 04:15 PM

That looks very well taken care of. Lucky you. I'm glad I don't have a husband to limit my shopping.

AngieS 07-17-2011 04:18 PM

That is AWESOME! :thumbup: Great deal! The cabinet is beautiful as well as the machine! :)

earthwalker 07-17-2011 05:59 PM

Beautiful machine...I would have bought all the fabric anyway...lots of fun that way...like unearthing buried treasure:).

Ann L 07-18-2011 07:13 AM

Good for you! Can't wait to get mine back from Billy, I found a 99K. Should be home soon. Enjoy your day sewing. I will do that this afternoon myself.

Cool machine!!!
Sounds like DH was using the universal husband excuse! LOL! You'll have to use that the next time there's an estate sale that's selling tools...see how he likes it! wink, wink!

jillaine 10-27-2011 12:01 PM

Didi, is this the machine you're using for making quilts? It's absolutely lovely.

Stitchnripper 10-27-2011 12:23 PM

Wow! You got a great deal!
