Not my choice of color, that's for sure!! We live in TN and it might appeal to a die-hard Vols fan maybe.

alikat110 07-15-2011 05:43 PM

Ewe!. I like orange, but that's a but much!!!

auntpiggylpn 07-15-2011 05:43 PM

Well, first of all, they should be shot for being an OSU fan (Go Blue!!!) and secondly, they should be tarred and feathered and made to walk the town square naked for what they did to that poor machine. No respect. . .

Lordy...I hope no one buys it! What a travesty of "artistic license" that has been shown there!

blueangel 07-15-2011 05:46 PM

Oh My

xsquilter 07-15-2011 05:51 PM

Whoa, gawdy to me. And I am re-liking orange lately. But not that.

I don't think it can be saved!!!

If it were Arizona Wildcat blue I would be all over it.

0tis 07-15-2011 05:55 PM

interesting...

Also, orange is the new black this season - guess someone else heard that too...

ube quilting 07-15-2011 05:56 PM

nothing would be more fun. I can't help but be happy around this little beauty. Curious though, Is it just spray painted or refinished properly?
peace
:D

University of Michigan Blue would be even better!!!!

I don't see how anyone could sew on it with that color. It would hurt my eyes.

I wonder if they could get the orange paint off and get it back to it's original black?

I doubt it I think it is doomed to be orange for eternity. And who is going to pay $700 for it???

I think it is ugly... to bad they ruined a nice little machine.

c1bendt 07-15-2011 06:39 PM

There is a man that will refurbish them and paint any color you like. Obviously a fan of orange on this one

Your little sweetie in your avatar is absolutely darling!! Put he/she with my Gertie (see my avatar) and we would have the Yin-Yang symbol!

Wine Woman 07-15-2011 06:46 PM

Why would they do that to such a precious little machine?

Probably because someone didn't know any better. If it can be painted orange, it can be painted black.

Now the question is -- does she run?

tammy cosper 07-15-2011 06:49 PM

Lol thats because its OSU school colors.
And its in Oklahoma.
Wow!

quiltgrammyt2 07-15-2011 06:53 PM

All I can say is to each their own,but NOT for me!!!! :thumbdown: :roll:

quiltingcandy 07-15-2011 07:35 PM

I would be afraid the orange would clash with almost everything I sew.

colleen53 07-15-2011 07:39 PM

over priced and ugly ! what a shame.

Nanamoms 07-15-2011 07:46 PM

Goodness, that would glow in the dark!!

newborn 07-15-2011 07:50 PM

Would be pretty to sit out on Halloween. :)

Leota 07-15-2011 07:51 PM

I "bleed orange" being an Ok State graduate but this is sacrilegious! Oh that poor baby...

Crabby Patty 07-15-2011 09:03 PM

It's sad when the case is prettier than the machine.IMO

SICK....I could not stand to look at it for very long....and for that price...I could buy a white and a black one!

GwynR 07-15-2011 09:21 PM

oh my! i agree with the tarred and feathered idea!

quiltsRfun 07-15-2011 09:51 PM

It's been around for a while. Apparently there aren't too many people who actually want an orange FW.

earthwalker 07-16-2011 12:09 AM

Ok...I don't have the money to buy it, and yes, I prefer things to be left original...but I must say I rather like it:)

pipp5 07-16-2011 01:56 AM

Too bright for me, but I suppose it would come in handy for late night sewing sessions! I know it would definitely keep me awake!

thequilterslink 07-16-2011 01:58 AM

I love it!

Lacelady 07-16-2011 02:17 AM

Yuk - Orange is my least favourite colour.

Totally agree, my one question is WHY?
