I really love the 185s. Very heavy though...surprising for a 3/4 machine. Very nice haul!

What a great find. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy -My kid refers to my collection as Mom's M&M's and it seems like there are quite a few things those 2 M's could stand for my favorite is Machine Madness : )

congrats on your finds! pretty machines. Love my 15-91. Machine addiction is my family's word for it. Oh well, everyone has at least one vice in life.

The 15-19 runs like a mad woman! Pretty nice stitch, had it sewing through 4 layers like butter. Love how it sounds, can't wait to get my hands on the other two over the weekend.

Was thinking of going to Chautauqua for the quilt show Saturday morning but am tempted to stay home and play.

You are very lucky. I have one of the 185J's (they called them J's in Canada, and K's in the United States--same machine). My elderly mother was clearing out her house and I snagged it before she took it to the church sale. I absolutely love that machine and do most of my piecing on it.

Actually, I was giving my little green machine the TriFlow spa treatment and noticed, in fact, it is a J, not a K--so it is made in Canada. I replaced the belt, it runs nicely. We'll see how it sews this weekend. I'm anxious to try it!
