The friend's mom passed away late last summer. Of course I greedily asked my son who got her fabric stash... he just laughed at me. Turns out she didn't have any fabric stash... she inherited the machine from her mother and they both only used the machine to do alterations & clothing repair work.
So now I have five machines: 1 Singer 15-91, 1 Featherweight, 1 Singer Quantum LE, and my 2 Janomes. (10K and 11K se).

Could you send him to WV for a while to look for a treadle cabinet in good shape for me? I have two heads, a 127 which is in the bad cabinet I have and a 66 that is crying for a good cabinet for herself and I am crying to use her too.
