Deplaylady, I adore your avatar. She looks so precious. We once saw a T-shirt stating, "What part of Princess do you not understand." She needs one.

I think I have 12 though the Touch and Sew that needs to leave shouldn't count. It's so hard to put a machine in the dumpster but it's just taking up space here. Two can be sold, but the rest are staying.

I'm getting the urge to find another one - I've been looking for White stuff for my newest, and keep seeing pictures of the very pretty, old White Rotary treadle machines. Though I don't want one in a base - just the head.

Yea, I know - I need another head like I need another . . . head! Though maybe a new brain would be good- one that didn't have this addiction to old sewing machines.

If you look in my "tradable" album you should see a white rotary portable that could be yours for shipping costs.

Never hurts to ask the seller if they'll ship. Worst that happens is they say no and you're out the cost of a phone call.

I tell my son that his inheritance is in my sewing machines. I have 14 very nice Featherweights and Singer 301's. In addition, I have a nice collection of toy machines. Every one is loved, cleaned, and used on a regular basis. Enjoy your hobby. Life is short and there are much worse vices. I almost forgot my grandmother's White and of course my modern Bernina 440.

I'm really glad I don't live in an area where they sell these great machines really cheap. I would be broke and have no room to move in this big ole house.

For me I don't know if its an addiction but I just love the vintage machines. I have a very short attention span but I can spend hours with these babies.
