Congratulations!
That carved social security number is not such a terribly bad thing. It can serve as a deterrent to theft. And if your FW ever did get stolen, someone else's identity is in jeopardy.
Enjoy the machine!

You are one lucky quilter. There was a gent at our recent guild show who was asking $2,000 for one. I think he'll be asking for a long time.

I have a picture on my cell phone so I'll send it to my email and see if I can upload it.

If not.....I can email it to someone else and they can upload if they didn't care. I have had the hardest time uploading pictures for some reason.

I'm thinking of calling her Ethel. (was thinking Bessie, Gertie Fannie or Ethel) All family names of my Great Aunts, then Ethel was my Great Grandmother.

I an happy for you----I started with one and now have more------for the scratches--Billy recommended a paint stick from Hobby Lobby that matches the black and I used it on Pitiful Pearl and it was wonderful!
