    Well, throw out something else... you won't care too much... well, you could sell it but not on here.

    If I was closer I'd let you store the old thing with me for a very reasonable small monthly fee.
    That machine is gorgeous! I've seen one MOP model 12 and it was nothing compared to that one. Are you able to get it?

    I probably see ten red eyes for every lotus here and almost all of the lotuses have decals that are shot. I almost never see model 12s and never with that much MOP or in that nice of shape in general. I think my area on the west coat is too new. There weren't many brought out here to begin with and people move around too much to have held on to most of them.

    Ahem. I have to be practical and not only wouldn't it do as good a stitch as my VS2 but I wouldn't be able to get needles for it (real reason: The missus would kill me)

    EDIT: Shh... I just emailed her

    I hate to think of the price of sending that to the states.

    Miram has the right idea, throw something else in the house out to make room.....you won't miss it compared to that beautiful treadle! I hope you can work it out to get it into your house.

    My wife would like the machine ok. I do think I know what (or who) she would throw out to make room for it though.
    I pretty much have to ask myself "Is there room to sleep under it?" before I buy any more machines at the moment.
