DH and I went to a local antique mall, and I found her sitting there all lonely, and calling my name. I had to have her.
a Montgonery Ward 'Signature' zigzag machine with cams, and feet, manuel and cabinet. She has a knee control. she is missing a bobbin case, but my old Kenmore's fit just fine, my old Singer's would've too. So it will be easy to replace. Sews just peachy and quietly. I paid $80 for her and the cabinet.
Thanks for looking.

here is Wilma and some attatchments

I have that exact machine in my basement. It was my grandmother's. You are going to love it. That machine is a real workhorse and they sew beautifully. You can even FMQ with them.
