Help! I need some willpower!
 

How do you say "No"? I went on a short trip to see my best friend. She offered me her mother's treadle that did not sell at several garage sales. Do I need another treadle? No, but it's a White in one of their pretty cabinets so, of course, I said,"Yes". I didn't bring it home - either I'll pick it up or she and her husband will bring it to me - preferably after Christmas. Now I really do need to list the Leader for sale. I didn't look at the White machine. I assume it's flowered Family Rotary. If it's an embossed one, I'll sell it and put my flowered one in the cabinet.

You've come to the wrong place.

;-)

we are all enablers here. you always need another machine!!!

Will power - what is that? I think I need more - the will to make some tough decisions and move some machines OUT.

Actually, I got up the willpower to let my husband list my antique sideboard for sale. I bought it at auction 9 years ago, and have never found a good place to have it in the house after we remodeled. It has been in almost every room except our bedroom at one time or another - and now it's out in the shed waiting to move on to someone else's house. I can fit two sewing cabinets in the space that took up!

That's an incredible story, but this is not Vintage Sewing Machine Anonymous.

I seem to have the same problem. I have a small collection (about 20) to some of those on this board but every time I try to consider selling some of them I always back out. In the meantime I still seem to be drawn to CL, ebay, local estates/yard sales always looking for some sewing machine I think I can't live without. I am hopelessly addicted!!!!!

I am not sure how to say no, LOL I would have said yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!

I wouldn't have left it. I would have brought it home post haste.

Never turn down a free machine. Especially one that you know the story on. Sounds like a wonderful addition!

That one sounds too good to pass up. I wouldn't have turned it down either.
Pictures when you get it please.:)
