ORANGE sewing machine
 
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions...-15074697.html

this is a different color. really does not look bad. it would cost me more to ship it too me than the machine. can someone tell me what this is? other than a Free Westinghouse.
thank you

It almost looks like Leather.

WOW it does look like leather.

Anastasia, you found alot of info, thanks. I was hoping someone would take a look and say "oh ya, that is a clone of such and such, it only does this stitch, it is good for this. etc. with all the sewing machine minds on this board.

macybaby, if you want it go for it.... I just pointed it out because of the different color. and there is no hurry about the table.

oh and in the description it says there is no bbbin case.... it looks like one is in there

I orange is neat, but I really like the gold one . . . it's always so tempting to get them all!

Local pickup is Mon- Fri 9am to 2:30pm, no way we can get there before 2:30 pm so that won't work.

Macybaby 12-21-2013 02:15 PM

I agree on the bobbin case, it sure looks like the top bobbin in the white box is sitting inside the bobbin case.
