Friends found me 2 machines today!
 
I have girlfriends that are trained well. My first call came from a friend that was in Overbrook KS this am and called to say she saw a Grasshopper in a cabinet for $15.00 and do I want it? Yes bring it to me! She is coming to my house for the weekend so we can get a quilt made for one of her grand daughters. I can't wait to see this little green machine. I have looked on the internet and am excited to see what I am really getting. If it is in a cabinet I probably will not get the case it came in but still will have fun with it. Then I was out mowing and when done found a voice mail, texts and photos from another friend who is visiting in Grove OK this weekend and has found an older Singer in a bentwood case that she says is immaculate and do I want it? YES! This one I won't get til Memorial weekend but I am excited today! Can't wait to get to play with my "new" machines. I am thinking the one in the bentwood may even be one of the older 99's. It doesn't have the stitch regulator bar but looks like a 99. :>)

Years ago I had a friend who attended auctions regularly. She got me 2 different machines, both good prices and great machines. Post photos of your new machines.

Yes. Please post pictures of your new machines. It gives courage to all of us to keep hunting.
