Oooh, Sunflowerzz. That is -really- an awesome find. In such amazing shape!!!! Consider the cost part of your trip to the dentist. Really, that is a seriously good score. Love, love, love it.

Congrats. Been there done that, as in dental and as in a sewing machine "calling" to you. The sewing machine siren song.

Thank you for saying you would have been tempted it really lets me know how very special she is. You are right because I almost missed it myself. We were just meant to be together! LOL

Thank you so much. I had her last on my list because I never see them and the ones listed on CL and the internet are EXPENSIVE! I had three my FW, the 15-91 and 319. I suppose I should add a new one to the list just to keep life interesting???

Thank you for those words, I didn't really think I would find one let alone in the green colors I wanted.

Thank you, You would think science could invent "cultured teeth" like how they make pearls or something like that and save us all a lot of grief!! LOL

Thank you and she was green! I didn't want another beige/mocha machine. Black would have been okay too. I think she would have looked fantastic in white! Like my FW.

Thank you so much, I am finishing up a cushion for her today. The one that came with it sounded like it was full of plastic trash bags but it was the foam! It was so old it had broken down into tiny little rock pieces and chunks and was covered in quilted faux leatherette. IT HAD TO GO...

By the way, I have named her Surprize. No surprise there... Her manual says she is a 319W2 model. Maybe the 2 is for twin needles? The flat discs that came with my 306 will fit her too and the manual states they will also fit models 238,240,248,258,316,320,338,348,360,418,477,478,51 4,518,538,818,838,1730 and 1800.

I am sew glad that your day turned out to be a good one after your awful appt!! I, also, do not like going to the dentist for the same reason - I always have trouble with the anesthetic before and after

Love, love! your cabinet and machine!!! I will definitly be putting this one on my 'gotta find' list!!
