Glad you have found your featherweight.

Yes, what will it be next.....I vote for a nice handcrank.

Heh! I'm not skeered of no stinkin' zombies!! I figure I have several machines to chuck at them if need be! :D :D :D

It's funny...I've watched "Doomsday Preppers" (it's on now) and while some of those people amuse me no end, I do see some value in their preparations, and figure I have the sewing machine part covered, now I need to work on the food and water thing! :D :D :D

I put a handcrank on a 99 just for taking it camping where I have no electricity and secondly for the electricity being out at home issue....it doesn't happen here very often, but when it does it's usually several hours. The 99 is a great little machine anyway, and adding the handcrank just makes it the perfect little machine to use in the great outdoors or otherwise!! :-)

getting the 'bargain' machines is NOT for everybody. The bargain machines I have found have all had issues. Are you willing to fix them or have them fixed. Some times it is better to pay a bit more and then go over it real well to make sure it works.

:shock::shock::eek: $15? :eek::shock::shock:

Misskira, I'm always out junking, what are you looking for other than a featherweight? (I'm pretty sure if I score one of those that it'll stay with me! LOL) I'd be happy to keep my eyes open for you!
Charlie,
If you ever run across a black 301 in good shape send me a PM. I am not having any luck at finding one. If it's too much trouble though, I totally understand.

I'll keep my eyes open Barb! Do you have a price range?
