Just did some checking. No wonder the Universal looked familiar. Universal and White were made by the same company in that time frame. So I'd be getting my mother's machine with a different name on it. ebay had a couple in the $100+ range, plus shipping and no cabinet, so maybe $25 isn't bad.

I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.

I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

Billy

thinking about you Billy. Get well soon

Love the color - it's very bright. The built in stitch regulator wouldn't turn, but it may after a oiling and cleaning.

Do I bring it home and if I do, where do I put it?

I don't know about the machines at your house, but here at mine the machines just seem to find a corner and snuggle in!! Looks like they were meant to be there! LOL! Two in the laundry, one in the dining room, one machine plus another cabinet in the living room, one just at the top of the stairs trying to decide which room to go into from there, and all of these are in cabinets. Of course there is the small sewing room with the FW and Janome in it, plus the cutting table , ironing table, flannel board, TV, etc......oh I hear a noise....Yep, the machine is deciding the other bedroom is a better bet! LOL!

My mother's White was her pride and joy. With six children, she worked evenings in a department store during the Christmas season to purchase it. I've never been nostalgic, but since I bought a black Singer similar to my grandmother's, I've really wanted a replica of my mother's. I think this will work. I see a room cleaning in my future.

I've also called about the Redeye in New Jersey. It may be gone at that price, but it's worth a try. Then I will have all the machines I want, though I'll have sell the Leader to make room for the Redeye.

Thank you , but, I do feel that we do not have a choice. With the way this world is going we need to step out in boldness. We need to set good examples, yes, there is a lot of that here. I feel very confortable in doing that with this wonderful group. Kathie

I hope they figure out what's really wrong Billy!
This shop is yours and I for one have learned so much in the short time I have been here.

I hope to see you back here soon!
