Goosepoint~ I think Ms Ruby is a nice looking sewing machine and cabinet for sure. Can't wait to see your pictures after you bring her home (excuse the enabling comment)
Elsie can you post picture of your new machine or scan the front cover of your manuals. It might help us identify your machine or something similar... it sounds like a gem if you can embroidery with it : )
Miz Johnny: Can I "Rent to Own" your Friends??? It looks like my kind of evening. Hope you enjoy your company and weekend.

I'd certainly travel 3 hrs to bring her home.

But I wanted your opinion on another little orphan that is lurking at my door. Ms Ruby is looking for a new home. Check out her photos.
