You mean collecting sewing machines is an addiction too?! If so then I am in the early stages. I think I have four or five - my mother's old electric, my own 70's vintage singer, and the new one my FI bought for me a couple of years ago. I have also discovered an old cabinet machine - or perhaps just the cabinet - in the back of the barn but I haven't been able to get to it yet so I don't know if it is treadle or electric or just an empty cabinet. And if I remember right there is one in the basement too. (Just inherited my parent's farm) Someone I know has an old cabinet electric with the knee lever instead of a foot pedal because I can remember using one. I am always drawn to old treadle machines if I see one in an antique store. I especially like the ones with the fancy wrought iron legs and treadle. My FI will probably try to nip this one in the bud though. Sewing machines are a bit harder to hide than the fabric stash! Annette M

Haha, want another? I've been trying to get rid of an older "White" electric for some time and don't seem to be in a good area for it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
