    A possible good deal. I'm not familiar enough with the cradles to know if this is complete.

    I'm hoping to pick up a industrial blind hemmer once I've got my Machine Shed set up. It will go with the other industrial machines I have. I plan on using all my industrial machines, they aren't really for "collecting" all though several of them are collectable. Besides, it will be good for people to be able to see what "industrial" really is. I'll make sure to put one next to a Singer 15 LOL!!

    I've seen these for far less, though.

    at 1600 stitches a minute, it'd sure make alot of button holes in an hour.

    Hope for $3000. there all in the right pace

    Those of you living in the seattle area should keep an eye on Boeing surplus store.

    Really?? Where's the needle? At least they knew it is associated with sewing even though it's not what they think they have.

    Ok, spelling and sewing aren't necessarily the same thing but poor spelling and grammar in a business ad really scare me. This one was a lot more than a few typos.

    In today's day, with browsers and tablets and word processors that tell you when you've spelled things wrong and are a grammatical disaster (within reason, of course), I don't see a valid reason - especially in business documentation - to have something that poorly presented, ESL or not.

    In fairness, my "real work" is as a technical business analyst so I'm particularly sensitive to it but it sets a particular image of the writer in a person's mind when they see that sort of lack of attention to detail or pride in one's workmanship. If the person has little pride in what they create as far as advertising (Resume, CV, an Ad on a local Buy and Sell), I won't take something to them for fear that their pride of workmanship also doesn't extend to their craft.

    For the record, it doesn't seem to matter what profession people are in. I had to have this talk with an engineer once. He didn't care what his resume looked like, it only had to get him in the door. I had to explain (repeatedly) that his resume was slamming doors on him.

    The ad does contain spelling & grammatical errors so it is apparent that, perhaps, English is not the first language of the writer.

    'Marie' is a very common European name. Edmonton is a very cosmopolitan city of many cultures. According to Statistics Canada, in 2011, its population was 812, 201. Of that population, only 16,180 gave French as their 'mother tongue'/first language. In this census, over 75,305 people affiliated themselves with other European backgrounds and languages that were not French.
