    Nice machine! I have one too, but not as nice as yours. I found it on Craigslist. Was yours made in Rockford Il?

    Well, Jeanelle,
    We are on vacation in N.C.. We are visiting a cousin and her son sells things at a local ''flea mall'' to raise money for cancer research .

    so we went to take a look see and I found this machine. Strange thing is on the way down from ma. I had a dream about buying a machine like this one .

    Yeah! We have twins! Not really, yours is nicer, mine has a tension problem, and no accsessories. I bought mine from a teen age boy, who you could tell needed the money, he was a sewer. I thought that was neat!

    I learned to sew on a Free Westinghouse. I even sewed through 2 of my fingers. LOL. It was a great machine.
