Thanks peeps. Yes indeed it is a heavy little machine.

You are very welcome. :)

Good for you Sunflowerzz. It's always good to help a kid get started in a positive hobby. Quality tools do make a difference in how successful they are.

How wonderful to become part of someone's story. This girl's grandfather sounds precious to go to great lengths to find her a good, solid machine that will bring her (hopefully) years and years of sewing joy--and a lifetime of gratitude for her grandpa for encouraging her desire in such a tangible way. Bless you for giving her a table as a bonus gift. It really shows your heart to share your love that way.

Yes, what you did was extra special.

Awww Shucks......:o

Awesome! I am teaching a teen to sew and started her on my 15-91 so she would know what a quality machine feels like. She made pillows for Christmas presents. If she continues to show an interest, I will gift her one of my vintage machines! Such a good feeling when the next generation shows an interest in sewing!

:thumbup:Way to go!!!!!!!!!! After the others that fell apart she should appreciate this machine that is sturdy!

Thank you Jennifer and that is what her grandfather said, I asked if he thought she would think it too old or too plain looking. He said and I quote " she will just be thrilled to get one that stays together" I know as she grows in her sewing talents she will come to really appreciate her vintage machine. We all do!:D

Kind of like the deepening appreciation for the qualities of things and people of older times, over the throw away culture of the present.
