    Cathy, thank you for sharing your experience. What you say about general condition seems to align with what I'm seeing. I see some machines that look great, but aren't priced that high; then I'll see...

    How change text in Forum signature?

    I expected this to be changeable in my Profile, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm trying to change the text in my auto-signature that appears at the bottom of my Forum posts. Thanks.

    How do you assess the value of a vintage machine?

    Whether buying or selling, what elements of a machine's condition go into the price?

    The range of prices out there is so broad. How do you calculate what's a reasonable price?

    What is a laundry basket quilt?

    I've seen photos of them. I've seen references to books about them. But what ARE they? How would you describe a "laundry basket quilt"? Thanks.

    I created a Word file that is basically a table, and I "place" the images into each square.
