I had the suspicion that was where the name came from ... unless by chance it had been the name of the original owner. Enjoy your new machine!

You are so lucky to have a friend willing to part with that beautiful machine.

What an amazing gift! You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful friend!

What a wonderful, wonderful treasure! Such a generous gift. Wow. Do enjoy your new machine.

Oh, what fun! That's the kind of new machine that I love. Enjoy your new treasure. The toy machines are like potato chips, one is never enough.

I am so happy for you but I need to warn you those are addictive! I got one several years ago and now have 8. I especially love the ones that still have boxes and instruction books. My collection started with old graphics on sewing items. I love old needle packages and that started this whole thing. My family thinks I am nuts but what did they expect? I still have my Brownie pin and skate key!

That is an awesome machine!!! I would display it too.
What nice stitching!

What a thoughtful friend and outstanding gift...she surely knows you well. Congratulations.

Mary Louise is special.

Oh my...I have a Singer chain stitch machine just like that. It was a gift from my mom and dad when my sister and I were young. Mine came in a sturdy little suitcase.
