It happens! I found a minty one with case and all attachments at the thrift store for $34.99. That was now at least 10 yrs ago. I couldn't believe my luck!! It definitely was NOT a centennial though!! What a bonus that is!

Try to find an original 221 or 301 bobbin case. There are reproductions that are being sold but the quality is poor. Perhaps you need to add a 301 to your collection. The 301 controller will also work on the 221.

Congratulations!!! It's gorgeous!! Super deal!! Now that I can get out again, I'm going to start hitting those places again. DH will have a fit but he will get over it.

and that might be a cheaper option.
