ORANGE sewing machine
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions...-15074697.html
this is a different color. really does not look bad. it would cost me more to ship it too me than the machine. can someone tell me what this is? other than a Free Westinghouse.
thank you

WOW it does look like leather.
Anastasia, you found alot of info, thanks. I was hoping someone would take a look and say "oh ya, that is a clone of such and such, it only does this stitch, it is good for this. etc. with all the sewing machine minds on this board.
macybaby, if you want it go for it.... I just pointed it out because of the different color. and there is no hurry about the table.
