    I am so excited! I have been looking for a machine that would do decorative stitches but also able to be treadled. So, DH and I went to several antique shops to look for one. We didn't find one, but DH spotted a FW case and we took the machine out and looked at it. It was a beautiful, new looking 1936 FW with several attachments. Case is OK, but missing the handle. I already own a 1948 FW that I love, but hubby kept saying this one looks better than yours and he insisted that I buy it!!!! (I wondered if he had a fever....) I kept saying no, I didn't need two, but he kept insisting. So, she came home with me! She sews such a perfect stitch! Name suggestions would be welcome. I think my DH is a keeper!!!!
    Oh - anyone near Springfield Antiques in Springfield, OH - there is a 501A with attachments for $75.00! I was tempted, but it cannot be treadled... :thumbup:

    I would have snatched that baby up and told DH to go pay for it while I stood guard over it.

    I agree- Daddy's girl sounds like the name for it.
