I think he said he'd even give me a 1/4" foot if I needed one. I think that's a fair price --- what do you think?

on saturday, the 30th, i am heading 40 minutes northwest of my home to look at and hopefully purchase the 1950 221-1 featherweight for $250. the shop owner will give me training in the threading of needle and the bobbin, etc. , he is giving me extra feet and bobbins, and the service he did to the machine is guaranteed for a year. he's an "old town sewing machine repair shop" -- very reputable. he said if i have any trouble with it -- just bring right back and he'll take care of it under the guarantee. a dear friend of mine has taken her singers to him for years. so... i do believe i'll be attempting my first photo post tomorrow. i think i'll be dreaming of names for her tonight. sweet singer dreams...... :)
