What a great find and at a more than great price. I thought I did really well when I found one for $125 in very nice condition but it had no manual or accessories.

Think footpedal is about $60.00 on internet, but if you have a damaged machine at home, maybe?? Either way still ahead in the price for singers are very expensive nowadays. People are going back to their oldies machine for they last ever. I found my 1st machine singer in yard sale $10.00 and sold to a quild member $30.00 before I knew to quilt and realize the use of such machine. I regret but live and learn.

Congratulations! Great find. You will enjoy her and will be able to find a replacement bobbin case and cord/foot pedal without problems. You did great!!

Oh my goodness, great find. Congratulations. I have never seen anything that nice at a GW. But, reading this forum one day, I read that a girl who was prowling around in a pawn shop while her husband was there trading or something, and way in the back found this little black case and peeked in to find a FW--the guy thought it was just a piece of luggage, and she held onto it until he charged her something like $20 for it and she floated out of that place on a cloud. Now every time DH and I go by a pawn shop I say, "wonder if they have a FW."

Congrats on your fabulous find! Happy stitching!

Good for you, If they have something even close here they price it over 100. Sometimes they have older machines that are obviously very broken and they still want a lot for them.

OK, I just fainted but I'm ok, don't worry. I can't believe this! If you ever find another one, I'll give you a commission & a big hug if you'll buy it for me.
PS CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The word ROBBERY comes to mind. LOL This is a great find and a terrific deal. Get her running and give us an update.
