Roger Peters
If you have an old Kenmore Model 90 sewing machine I have a manual, circular
attachment, cams, buttonhole attachements, etc. you can have. I don't have

postage cost for shipping.
Thanks,

John Smith[_2_]
I am starting to search for a dress form online, and I'm having
difficulty finding much information.
Can anyone suggest some good quality dress forms? Also, if the person

Thanks for any suggestions.
