Mary and I have been in conversations, and the box shows as being delivered to her this afternoon. Other than me dropping that ball -- I'm no longer using a bat to beat myself up so much -- I will have to keep in mind that her address takes one more day for delivery than usual. So I will either mail out to her at her request, or the 14th.
I don't have as many machines as I once had... but during lock down both my expensive Bernina and my vintage Remington (my two favorites) had issues so I was using a really low end Brother (probably retailed for $100 or less new) for the last couple of months. I also have a vintage Pfaff, and my husband's grandmother's well used machine in a cabinet (it is a workhorse, not a beauty but part of the memories of grandma and life on the farm). I loaned my neighbor my 301 to make masks, but got that back this week. That 301 is such a nice sturdy machine, I probably would have loaned out the Brother instead, but I gave them my elastic and was using bias binding for my mask ties and wanted zig zag, so kept the Brother.
Reba, I'll have to check with the hubby but I think the grandparents farm was more out towards Holland than Grand Rapids proper.

MacyBaby, all I can say about your abundance of machines is "bless your heart!"
Travelinggramma, I haven't mailed yet. I was waiting on Amazon to deliver a little lightweight notebook. It came today and I'll get it in the mail tomorrow.
You ladies are a hoot with your machines. My husband wrinkled his eyebrow , for a moment, about my new machine. Then I ask how many drills and saws he has. Well, as he is a plumber, he has SO many. He likes my new machine!
