Default I Got A 222!

BUT - It's not a Singer. LOL.

National Princess 222.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]539115[/ATTACH]
It's built by Brother of course. It came in a nice case and had everything but the manual. Extension table, full set of cams, all the fiddly bits including a straight stitch needle plate and the little awl that matches the screwdrivers. It's so clean and the paint is just about perfect. I haven't played with it yet to see how it sews but I have faith in it. It's a Brother after all.

That's a pretty machine and it looks like you also got the goodies to go with it. How neat is that!

Your post title really "hooked" me. I was already turning green with envy as I opened the post! And I am still green with envy - what a cute machine! Keep us posted on how she sews!

Cari,

I was following that one too. Thought about bidding on it but it went way over my budget real quick.

Glad a QB member got it.

Hope it sews as good as it looks.

Nice find! Is it blasphemy to say I like it even better than the Singer 222? It has cams, too. Let us know how you like using it.

That is one nice looking machine!

It's close enough to a Singer 222 - they are both open arms!

Great get Cari!
Do you mind taking a couple shots of the machine and cams for "The Cam" thread?
Thanks,
Rodney
