I passed my old machine (bought in the early 1980s I would have to say) that had probably not been used more than a few hours total, since all I ever did was make halloween costumes and do some mending with it. When I decided I wanted to learn to sew I opted for a whole new machine (since my husband was willing to buy me one as enticement) and so I had that one cleaned and adjusted and gave it to my daughter in law. She got a nearly new (altho older) machine that the man who cleaned and adjusted it said was in perfect working order. I also was able to order a brand new manual and new bobbins (I had some but thought extras are always nice to have). <br />Enjoy yours. BTW as an aside, you could always sell yours and buy a newer one if that suits you better. I suspect someone would love to have your beautiful older one just for it's stylish looks. I have to admit that while I love the look of the old machines, I love all of the things my brand new one does.Your Friend Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559154476213509832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745211095286713315.post-44130438885186109292012-01-09T19:20:28.468+00:002012-01-09T19:20:28.468+00:00Great post, what a find!
