    Quoted from ISMACS newsletter dated May 21 2010:
    I hope this posting is ok. Years ago I collected 37 vintage sewing machines in various states of disrepair, They have been stored in my cellar for most of that time. I now need to get rid of several of them.
    I will be at my Cape Cod home and looking to get rid of them from June 10 - 28th. (I am currently living in CA) If you live in the Cape area and are at all interested give me a call on or after June 10. Several of them will be free, just need to pick up. My number is 508 878 2957 my name is McCall.
    Sandi looks like we need to call this person!! Free is always good but I dont mind paying for something I really want!!

    Thanks for posting this I am sure some of us here are around that area and would love to get in on the sale!!

    Ruth, I think your right about the Feather Weights and the average Joe seller, all it is to them is a little sewing machine and most think they are toys or novelties as such.

    Have to read up on this whole thread. I messed up my FW, got some thread stuck in the bobbin case and shuttle area. Will have to take time to find out how to clean her up.

    I am going around the tail end of August or September. I dont know what I will bring if anything, I am going to pack SUPER light (the clothes on my back and what I can fit in my pockets :mrgreen: ) and I will more than likely be staying at peoples homes that I know that are around my trip.

    I will however be hanging out in the Grand Canyon area for a few days. I want to go on the overnight trip that they have there where you go down into the canyon and stay at some cabins or camp that they have there. And I am going to see the water falls and swim in the pools that are on the Indian reservation insaide the canyon.

    I do want to see the big ole Sequoias and Mount Rushmore along with Bonneville Salt Flats, the PCH, so I will more than likely be meandering around the whole time!!

    But I am in the middle of planning my trip route and after I figure that one out then I will start asking folks if I can drop by and "flop" at their place!! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Plus this trip will give me a chance to meet a lot of people I know from here and the NeedleBar and be able to put faces with a name!!
