Way cool of a machine that is HEAVY and BIG! She looked disappointed at the heavy and big. I looked at her and said,"NO WAY, You are interested in a Singer 29k58?". Her look was yeah mom. HELP ME!

Can anyone here tell me how to free motion on a Singer 401? I posted on MAIN earlier, but I don't see the post. Thanks

Then there was a animal rescue league thrift store that had the Singer STRAIGHT leg treadle cabinet, with a 15-88 treadle machine in it. I SO wanted to get it, but already have two treadle cabs AND an industrial table sewing machine (Sailrite SR200 longarm). I have no more room! lol Nancy |

It appears to be listed for someone other than the listing person.
Re: the comment about the high reserve price. That's interesting. I'll have to remember that if I ever see something listed from that particular GW again. I remember bidding three different times for a Westinghouse gold machine (libertie decals) that I thought I'd like..... but the reserve was never met. It's up for auction again (like the 6th or 7th time now) and now no one is bidding on it. The shipping+packing+'handling' is killer. But..sometimes you can find something good, in a place you can drive too. |
