Who would have thunk

We've got a bunch of consignment malls around here. One is 3 floors of what used to be a big department store. So, I'm guessing I won't be finding machines at our ReStore.

Congratulations on your Featherweight! I hope you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. I got mine to take to classes; but I find that I am sewing on it every day. I have my Bernina set up for free motion quilting and use the Featherweight for piecing. I love that little machine!

I was at our Restore today and saw three machines in cabinets, all very dirty and not any that I needed to add to my 11. But while I was there I talked with the lady who manages the place. She goes to church with my daughter who told her I like to tinker with vintage machines. She took me into her office and showed me a Featherweight that she says doesn't work and asked if I would work on it. So I brought it home with me, plugged it in and it seemed to work just fine. Kinda dirty and needs some good cleaning and oiling. Haven't put any fabric in yet or threaded it, so we will see tomorrow what happens. I'm too tired right now. I will post pics of it on the Vintage Machines thread tomorrow, if my uploads cooperate.
