My daughter likes to shop.
My daughter likes to shop thrift stores, GW, the army. Now and then she finds a machine that's for real.
This crop includes a green Kenmore 158, a white 158 1350, a Brother Charger 661, a green Merritt, a Dressmaker, and a Necchi with a broken plastic gear on the shaft. All of them need one or more parts like spool pins or tension assembly. The Brother needed a bobbin case and oil, its going to be my favorite machine.
I cleaned and oiled a Shark and its going back home with her. All that plastic case has to come off just to put some oil on that big gear. Its sewing perfectly now and I didn't have any screws left over. A plastic Singer and Kenmore don't really bear mentioning except for winding 15 bobbins.
She kept the twin to the white Kenmore at home and it has become her favorite machine. All I have to do is teach her how to clean and oil it.

I need a daughter like that! Mine likes to shop at thrift stores, but doesn't normally notice sewing machines. . . but she also lives in GA and I live in SD, so that makes it a bit hard for her to pick up machines for me LOL!!
Though if she collected enough, then I'd feel more obligated to making the trip to visit.

You have trained her well. My son did buy me one machine I wanted for my birthday a few years ago but I whined and sniveled for it. None of my kids share my passion for sewing machines, in fact all of them would just as soon see most of the machines disappear.
