Now, I need to get me a Singer stool for my treadles.

How well do you know the ladies who are complaining that he has their machines, has had them in at least one case for YEARS (2)...has one woman's grandmother's machine....took one woman's money for selling her a machine almost a year ago that he still hasn't delivered on...and if you want to talk about someone who is ill...you should talk to her. These people trusted Billy with items that were precious to them, and he has broken that trust. He has lied repeatedly to them telling them that their machines are in the mail, and yet somehow those machines never reach their destinations.

There are two sides to every story, two shoes to every pair. You might want to try BOTH on before you decide one fits better than the other.

Charlee; Thanks for explaining this so very well to others who may not know both sides of the story. While I knew some of it, I didn't know how to explain it all. Thanks again.

So, you post this instead????

So, why I ask?
Justify your post here, sometime I can be a bit naive. Never met the man, only know him from his posting here on Quilting Board. Why should he be afraid to post on this board?
