So...who else has broken/seriously injured their toe by stubbing it on their Featherweight case?
Bueller? Bueller?

Trust me- cast iron hurts even more than a case!

Too bad I didn't trip on the Gatling gun on stored near where I work...then I could tell people "oh, it's an old Gatling gun injury..." Makes for a much more interesting story!

Tool boxes are also hard on tyes especially twice within 5 minutes. Did that once. Hurt like the dickens and had to wear boots afterwards to add salt to the wound.

A while back someone here tripped over a machine and broke her leg. Or am I remembering that wrong.

I have a chance of getting my aunt's Singer 500. It is a state away. I called the ups box store and they want $358 to ship it to me. I feel that the machine is not worth that much money. I can not drive up and get it as it would cost me more than that is gas and it would not fit in any of my cars. It is in a large three drawer cabinet. I looked on the internet company for trucking firms and most of the ones in the area are one to two truck companies. I do not want to use just any company. Does any one have any ideas or am I just going to have to pay the fee? Kathie

How far away is it? Would renting a pickup to go get it be a cost savings? Is there anybody in your family that could haul it halfway for you and you come meet them with a pickup?
Or you could possibly sacrifice the cabinet and just get the machine head? That should cost significantly less to ship.
Good luck!!
