Doug, that is great news from the Dr. Now you will have time to read the entire (soon to be) 300+ pages of this topic. Then in your "spare" time (I always love that one, who ever really has spare time?) you can put together a spreadsheet or something like that to help us search inside of this topic....something like: FW machines on pages X, XY, XYZ, etc. W&W machines on pages A, AB, ABC, etc.....Just a thought...it would keep you busy since the Dr. won't allow sewing yet.....

Keep on taking care of yourself,
Darcene

You know what? I help people when ever I can and when I lay my head on the pillow each night sleep without a guilty conscience.

No room for hatred or greed.

I just found this great site: http://www.sew2go.com/

Since many of us are shipping our precious machines I thought that I would share this site that not only has a lot of information about vintage machines but also several very excellent tutorials on how to pack a machine for shipping. On the home page scroll down to the packing box and click on it. He has a wealth of information to share.

I have an opportunity to buy a Pfaff 130 treadle in a cabinet in very good condition. The guy wants me to make a reasonable offer. I am thinking $100 but I don't want to insult the guy and not be able to get the machine ....and it sure is purty! What do you think?
