    I found this on Craigslist last night and I called about it. The gal was so sweet and just wanting to get rid of it. It had been their moms. So I went to get it today and I am so excited. It's a Husqvarna Viking. Lots of bells and whistles. I really did not need another machine, but this was too good to pass up. She also threw in anything she thought was related to sewing, all packed in the cute bag on the right of the picture. There was lots of thread and a nice pair of scissors. Well, you can see. Some is not really sewing stuff, but still great. I will need more bobbins, but I can get those. I just found an online manual so I think I am good to go.

    Oh, and the best part! All for only 25 bucks! Can you believe it? I love my old machines, I really do, but this is fun too.

    It looks like there is a crack on the front, that curved line. I think that was just flash, there is no crack. I"ve already sewn a little on it to make sure it works and seems fine. I think I need to read the manual before I do too much. Don't want to mess it up. But it sounded really good. A quality machine just has that sound that a cheapy will never have.

    I agree though that there is never too many machines. The ones in cabinets make great end tables, and are just beautiful pieces of art.
