I got a new old sewing machine! DH was walking home yesterday and saw it in the window of a second hand shop. So we went down today and looked at it, and when we discovered it was guaranteed to run like a top and only cost $40 we brought it home. Now the serious gloating..... It is a Free-Westinghouse in mint condition complete with instruction manual, all the attachments, feet, and even the screwdrivers and the awl. There was even a spare packet of needles in there with everything. Oh yeah! *does the Emperor Kuzco uh-huh dance* If I can figure out these photo sites, DH took pictures. He says you cannot gloat seriously without pictures. NightMist dashing back to learn her new toy -- The wolf that understands fire has much to eat. |

Yes please, pictures! We don't encourage frivolous gloating :-)

I have one of those too - it used to be my father-in-law's spare
machine. Does yours have a motor that swings out of the way when you put the cover on it? Linda PATCHogue, NY On Thu, 11 May 2006 16:06:27 GMT, (NightMist) wrote: I got a new old sewing machine!

I just ordered a new Juki computerized machine. It was on sale at Joann's
for half off. It is throw away priced and I am selling the Bernina and all the feet. I just got it back from the repair shop and it cost me $467 to repair it. No guarantee at all on this 5 year old machine that cost me almost $2000. Never again will I spend more than $500 on a machine. Got out my embroidery machine and forced myself to learn how to use it. The water soluable stabilizer is too light weight and makes the fabric pucker. The heavy stabilizer that I use to make patterns works great and I just trim as close as I can with my applique scissors. I did some cute red work blocks of little girls in sunbonnets and I think I will make a quilt out of them. Can you tell I'm going bonkers waiting to hear the results of my interview on Tuesday? Next thing you know I might whip out the book on the serger and actually learn how to turn the blasted thing on. LOL!!! "NightMist" wrote in message ... I got a new old sewing machine!

Nope.
Mine is one of the ones with the totally enclosed motor. Very small footprint on the motor, it is also mounted at the top. You see it in the second picture. I think DH is sending copies of the pics to some engineering pals. He is enchanted by the notion of a sewing machine that does not take a belt. Sort of like a BMW as opposed to a Harley. *chuckle* NightMist On Thu, 11 May 2006 16:36:41 -0400, witchystitcher wrote: I have one of those too - it used to be my father-in-law's spare machine.

OK, I am seeing this post but not the post with the picture links.
Does anybody else see the post with the picture links? If nobody else sees it and I don't see it by this afternoon or evening, I will resend it.
