    I would like to see a picture of your Meister. I bought one last summer and love it. The stitches are so nice and even. My machine looks like new. There aren't many around. If you could post a picture of yours I would appreciate it.
    Thanks Dixie

    Saw one of these the other day. Not as nice looking as yours and they wanted $150.00 with out the attachments. Case was cracked and had duct tape on it. We just have nothing here in good/decent shape at a decent price.

    My DH was reading this thread - his comment "the Enablers are at it again"

    He got his infection from this board.

    THis made me chuckle!! As my best friend and I started enabling each other with our machine collections! She actually has the table to my 401A as I had nowhere to hide it in my house! THe table for the 301 is hidden in my daughter's room!

    There is a twelve step program towards reconciling yourself to the disease; and I can see by your photo that you are five steps into that already.
    The next seven steps? Up to you, but I do recommend a Featherweight, a Pink Atlas, a Grasshopper, a handcrank of sorts... but really it is up to you. It's your disease.

    Tee Hee Hee... I actually have 2 Featherweights.... coning my DH to paint one a pretty teal! I've been watching for the Pink Atlas as well as a hand crank, but I must say you got me on the Grasshopper! TO google I must go!!
