    I have seen some pretty awesome Craigslist finds here. I was wondering what do you put in for a search? Sewing , crafts, sewing machines? Any good ideas of how to get the best out of a search?

    When I search in my area, I just put sewing in the search window and see what pops up.

    You might want to also just browse thru the Arts & Crafts category. Some people don't spell correctly and you may miss something that doesn't pull up in a search. :)

    I have found things in arts and crafts and antiques. Good luck hunting. I've never bought anything, but look a lot.
