    DiDi, Don't give up on the thrift stores. I was feeling the same way when one day I walked into Goodwill and could not believe that there were not one, but three sewing machines for sale. There were two Kenmores, one green and the other beige, both in cabinets. I never tried them out, but they looked in very good condition. The last one was a Necchi in a beautiful desklike cabinet with three large drawers, attachments and book. I tried it out and it worked well. They were all about the same price. I got the Necchi for $28.00 with tax. She agreed to come down from $35.00. Just keep looking, something will come along.

    I love seeing all the treasures too, especially the FW or any machine - like a walk thru the history of sewing!

    I guess it is worth it to keep going to Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. I rarely find fabric or sewing machines that I think I might want. I did find an Accuquilt cutter, a 2" die as well as the cutting mat. I was EXCITED!! I paid $75 for the accuquilt and $50 for the die and cutting mat. I thought that was pretty good after looking at e-Bay and other web sites. All three are practically brand new.

    would you believe I had a garage sale this weekend and did not sell the 1st yard of fabric. I had over 30 bolts of material, I could not believe it!!
    I probably would have bought it all but I doubt if my hubby would let me drive that far for a garage sale!
