Has anyone ever ordered from him? Thanks for the info.

He is great! Very willing to talk to you on the phone and help in any way he can. Good prices and fast delivery!

Wow, Shopgoodwill.com is another site like ebay to stay off.
There is a 201 I that had on my watch list, but I'm going to take it off. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8162092

I'lll see what happens tomorrow with the 403.

If you want to post an ad for something, in several different sections of your state, you have to word them a bit differently from the others because if you don't then the multiple ads will get pulled from the listing. I've had that happen to some of my ads. Now I just change the wording a little and they are all set.

Thanks that is nice to know. There is just so much weird stuff going on anymore.

Have fun posting all your lovely pieces of work. It will be fun seeing what everyone has created and with what machine!

Monica, what a great thing to start for us! I will post a couple I made using several vintage machines as soon as I can!

Thank you guys for your kind words about my flag quilt. That flag quilt was made before vintage, but I love the little quilt!

All you guys have done some beautiful work on quilts posted in the Quilt Photo Shop, but Sharon your quilt is my colors! I love brights!

I'm laid up today with a bad case of poison ivy mixed with bug bites. We've been clearing a path to the door of a house we bought at a tax sale. Found one well growing plant we suspect might have some street value.... Got it leveled for now - too bad - it was pretty and smells good...

Miriam this is so funny, although, I think I'd have called the authorities just to protect myself! I have gotten poison oak so bad so many times that now I am not allergic to it. When we first bought our ranch there was a ton of poison oak - after years of clearing it away -- getting it all over my body - we have gotten rid of most of it, and I don't get it any more. I can go riding and pull it off the trail with my bare hands! I love it! That is nasty stuff!

I am surprised at the FWs. Do the prices skyrocket at the end? Of course some aren't identified as FWs.

Yes, the FW's skyrocket at the end. Once in a while one gets missed, but for the most part they go up and up.

Good morning all. I have listed a Singer 401a in the classifieds. Nice running machine. It was rescued covered in dirt and grim and badly in need of a bath and moisturizing treatment. She is a happy girl now.

Linda, that seems like a lot to me. Look at sewclassic.com...they have a bunch of parts for 301s and I saw one on there for cheaper than that. They have both plastic and metal. The plastic ones are OK...I have one on my BabyLock on my quilting frame, and it's been there for 5 years. Still works fine.

I don’t know where it goes. I think it is a 66 from 1926- #ab101576. The more I clean the more there is to clean. How do you get rid of the kerosene smell? Thanks so much.

Pin might be from the tension - poke it in the hole and see if it fits. .

I can't find the hole you are talking about. Can someone help this poor, ole quilter please. Thank you...
