Quilterguy27, I guess I am out of the loop.
What kind of surgery did you have? It sounds like you had a bypass, am I right? If so, how long has it been if you don't mind my asking?
I am not just being nosy. I went through that procedure the first of the year.
My very best to you whatever it was that you had done.

Thank you, but I have no idea about what model or anything it is. I am wondering if it was reconditioned as it is so shiny.

It sews beautifully. But I would have no idea how to use the bobbin winder or rethread it if it breaks.

Thank you, I realized after I posted that 124 was wrong :). And never would have known the name of the decals, lol. This is all new for me.

Thank you, I will check it out. I had a model 127 but I gave it away to a very nice gentleman. He used it to help others.

I must have gotten this one because of all the hard work I did over the weekend. I worked at a Food Give Away for Charity on Friday while on vacation. I had a ball. There were 2 kids that migrated to me and helped me give out the food. The grown ups were all given a few different items to give out to the people and the kids decided to help me. They were big helpers. All food was for free and people were lined up 2 hours ahead. I would like to start something like this in my area, but would have to learn more.

I guess I earned a couple of Angel Wings for helping out!

Thank you for the information! You just earned a wing yourself!
