What a bargain....and lucky your Mom!!!Do you want to adopt another mom ? All kidding aside, I just purchased a new "Singer Curvy" sewing machine that normally sells for $300 and I got it for half price at JoAnn's. The clerk that I spoke with said she loves it. We travel south for the winter, it will stay there and I feel if we travel 10 years (average cost $15 or less each year),then it was a bargain. I have a used Bernina, embroidery sewing machine that stays in Minnesota for 8 months out of every year.
