Cool Little Green Machine

If all goes well, I'll be adding a GE Sewhandy mini-green machine to my collection! A member of my quilt guild has it and is asking $40.00 for it. She's supposed to bring it to the meeting today.

I have one of those too. Cute. I couldn't get it to stitch til I realized the wheel goes away not towards. Have fun with it!

Nice find. You have to let us know how it works. If I understand it correctly, Singer bought up the rights to this machine and made the Featherweight. It comes with a nice story too ;- )

I got it! It's home now. Several of the ladies at the guild tried to buy it out from under me! Ultimately, it did come home with me.

Yay for you! I wondered how you could get it for $40, that is a steal! You probably already have seen it, but here is an interesting article about different versions of the SewHandy.

What a beauty! Treat her with some TLC. This is the first one I've seen, lucky girl.

Such a cute little machine. I don't know much about the vintage machines but I love to look at them.
