Wow! Somebody didn't know what they had!! I'm glad your DH was smart enough to take a picture so you could make a run for it!! Congratulations!!!

Hapy Birthday.
Way to go with your new sewing machine. |
The thrift stores near me have lots of clothing and kitchenware and not much else. Happy Birthday, I'm so happy you found her. I love my featherweights, I currently have 4. :mrgreen: :-D

Happy Birthday and lucky you. I came across one recently in an antiques place that wanted $375.00 for it. Pretty but not that pretty. She stayed there!!!
|
Very nice to yourself gift.

You never know what you will find in a thrift shop. Obviously, you made out like a bandit.
Years ago, a friend of mine was singing a concert. Her DH was headed towards a thrift store as she went in, She said, "Bud, don't buy anything unless you find a New York Martin (a very valuable antique guitar) for $5." When she came out, that was exactly what he had. The thrift store owner thought it wasn't worth much because it was stringless and looked kinda beat up. Thrift store may just have junk...or may have real treasures. |
Happy Birthday to you! What a wonderful present for you!
|
Congratulations, she is a beauty - now you need to join the Featherweight group on Quilt Board.
|
Congratulations! Any reason you're not telling us how much you paid for her (other than it's none of our business). I want to know so that I won't lose heart that I can find one at a great price!
|
Well, happy birthday to you! And congratulations on your new toy!

Great pick. I never run into anything like this darndaluck. Enjoy it.
|
For medical reasons, I am restricted to lifting no more than 25 pounds. A Bernina probably weighs more than that. A FW weighs about 12 pounds. Ideal weight to carry to a class.
|
I think DH may have shopped in thrift stores before! He knew to take a pic LOL
Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your new toy. |

Hmmm, looks kind of like a featherweight. Off I go to check it out and it was a featherweight 221. Lucky lil sewing machine has a new home with someone to love it. I cleaned it; oiled it; and it runs like a champ. Case is in need of some repair, but there are lots of attachments with it and the original manual. Monday was my birthday so this is my present to myself. :lol: :lol:

I've seen some at a quilt store for appr. $400.00 but can't bring myself to spend that much. You hit the jack pot with this one. |
