Anyone wanting a bargain machine should look at this:

Not a make I know, but it looks to be a lovely clean and tidy machine.  May do someone as a spare?

If I lived there I'd give it a go.  :(

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Jessie, will we have to stage an intervention?  You admit yourself to having '... far too many sewing machines to be healthy'0_0

I quite like its style but I'm trying to curb my DH's fast growing collection of first day stamp covers (growing way too fast as he keeps buying huge job lots) with a promise to match him by going cold turkey on buying sewing machines (3 this year already) so it's only look and admire with strictly no touching for me!  :|
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

I took at look at it and I rather like it and its very affordable... but I still have a 201 that needs work and I have 319k with a friend i need to collect too...
