Checked on ebay last night and put a few on my watch list, and Snagged one with 10 minutes left and WON the big OhMyGoodness!!!
I think I'm in shock

Date: 1/3/13 2:06 PM I like them a lot. I love the color. If I were in the market for a sewing only machine I would consider it. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com |

 2 members like this. Date: 1/3/13 10:38 PM I still can NOT believe it!!! The reviews on here are VERY mixed about the bobbin and threading. But at 1/2 the price of a new one, I can afford whatever thread it wants to eat 
*pinching myself* and it will arrive in time to quilt the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt I've been following along since November yahoo ------ I have great enthusium for sewing, but lack talent to be great.

Date: 1/4/13 11:51 AM Just be sure to read the manual first, and to thread it correctly and so on, and if you have issues - take it to a sewing guy and have it looked at and made right. Noce machines! I know they love Metrosene, and so do I. ------ "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
