I love your collection of machines. Recently found a White Rotary the same as yours. Have you used it and what is it like to sew with if you have??? Mine is in the shop having the electrical checked over and I'm anxiously waiting for a clean bill of health on it. Any tips for this machine you'd like to pass on? Overlander/Barb

All are so great. They look brand new after their face-lifts.

Congratulations!

Don't really have a goal. Wanted two treadle machines which I have now so no more room to display any more of those. A couple of my machines were inexpensive so just bought them for that reason. Machines on Craigs List here are rediculous in price, they think that they are on Ebay!
Would like a machine that is green in color which is my favorite color and would like at least one childs machine.
