Ok, very creative mind at work there, I could use that machine to put a new addition on the house. hmmmmmm!
And we having a bit of a problem with some pesky neighbors too. Could sew their four wheelers to their car bumpers.

I skipped that one mainly because of the price. Is that not false advertising???

[h=2]Pfaff 130 Magic Sewing Machine - $525 (Seattle)[/h][HR][/HR]Date: 2012-04-24, 10:00AM PDT

This is a Pfaff 130 industrial sewing machine suitable for heavy canvas, leather, marine vinyl, and all sorts of other things that make wussy little sewing machines cry like children.

Ever wanted to sew a shoe to tree? You can do it with this bad boy. Wanna sew a slab of concrete onto your car bumper? No problem. Loud neighbors giving you problems? Sew mattresses to your walls and you'll never hear them again.

This machine is amazing!

-I built an addition to my house using nothing more than eggs, flour, and a Pfaff 130.
-When I had surgery, the doctor used a Pfaff 130 to stitch me up.
-The Pfaff 130 tutored my developmentally disabled children and now they attend Harvard.
-The Pfaff 130 is an excellent listener.
-When I ran out of gas in the snow this winter, the Pfaff 130 drove out to me with a gas can.
-The Pfaff 130 does the dishes and cleans the house when I work late.

It has a treadle switch too.
