That is a made in Canada 185j - I got one in a lovely cabinet last November, she was missing the bobbin cover and I just replaced it a few days ago so she is going to get a work out pretty soon!

...she is a 3/4 sized machine and a lovely stitcher!

My sister got one at a garage sale, and liked it so much she bought another later. She raves about it.

OMG. Seeing all those coffin tops gave me goose bumps. I wonder where all the dead bodies, er sewing machines are? It's a good thing that I don't live in Texas and I don't have the $$. And they are hand cranks to boot. Poor guy, he says he is overstocked!!! Can you imagine? I am whimpering along with you Charlee. Even triple, quadruple whimpers.

If I was in Texas, I'd be whipping out plastic so fast it'd make Flash Gordon look like a tortoise!! Guess it's a good thing I'm not in Texas, I kind of like my spousal unit...he's cute and a keeper...I'm pretty sure tho, that would be grounds for a divorce!!

be careful that listing does state as is. I have a friend who got burned from buying as is, so just be careful , as it seems you are anyway. grace

This little sewing machine sure is cute!

Anyone know anything about it, like how well does it work? Or how much is it worth?

Love the color!
I'm sorry I didn't comment on your original post. That little machine is so cute! I don't know anything about it except it is cute! I did notice that you are in Ohio so the shipping won't be very much. I love Goodwill but you have to pay attention to the shipping cost.

It is cute, runs nice too - its a 99 dressed up in a different dress. Plus unlike my early 99, it does do a back stitch.
