I know we will be keeping an eye out.

I don't really know much about it but the people are moving and need it out of the house. It was being advertised as a different model but I recognized it.

Glenn;
Changed my avatar to reflect my own service and also others' on this board. Thank you for your service. ~ Chris
Update on handcrank: Got her today. The woman still owns about 6 or 7 FW's (not planning on selling them) but has some attachments she's like to sell. Trying to find out what is in one box - can't tell for sure and she hjasn't answered the latest query. Speaking of attachments, I received some with the machine, which is nice, but no manual. She's a backclamp 66 though.

Here is the new machine. I am going to call her Sneaky Heidi becuase she is still in hiding. I have not fessed up yet :?
And I am also going to post a pic of my horrible craft room that needs some shelves desperately but now I dont want my husband going in there because I am hiding a new machine lol.
(PS I will fess up but just want to give it some time I am not afraid of my husband he will only shake his head and ask if I really needed another one I just think its funny lol)

That is one thing I have never figured out is why these hubbies gripe about you all bringing more machines home with you. Even though my wife doesnt sew she never says anything about anything I bring home, whether its cars or sewing machines. And I never had an issue about her bringing home another purse of a pair of shoes, who cares it makes her happy and thats all that counts in my book.
The next time one of your hubbies says something about you bringing home another machine just ask him if he rather it be a younger guy......... :mrgreen:

Last time my DH (doesn't necessarily stand for Dear) made a comment about backing up a dumpster, I told him to go right ahead and do that. Throw it all out. I'd buy back what I wanted out of the divorce settlement. Quieted him right down.
