Well later in talking about the machine I found out that it was my Aunt's that was her mom's ( my great grandmother ) Once I found this out I wanted so bad to ask for it back, well many years went and i wondered if she even had it.. so I emailed her and asked if she still had it... and she said yes and asked me if I would like it because she was going to get rid of it.. Well I took her to lunch and I brought her back home !! isn't she pretty? She is a shuttle bobbin and still has all her attachments.. I think they are pansy flowers ... the cabinet needs to be revarnished but she is a keeper...

I just love happy ending,don't you.

This is a GREAT story. We always hear about LOST pets and kids finding the way home, but now we know a lost machine that has found her way too. Happy for you. Also goes to show NEWER is not always better. Happy Sewing.

I think it wonderful your sewing machine came "home". And best of all she has a story that can be told and preserved.

Beautiful machine, beautiful story. It's great to have a machine LIKE the one you used to have, but to have the actual machine come home must bring back so many special memories!

There was a reason why you thought of that machine while your friend was thinking of getting rid of it...congrats! I sure wish I could find my old machine...

I love your story , it has a very personal meaning,I was just looking on E-bay at antique machines to see if I could see a shuttle bobbin machine,that was my first machine I sewed on.
you made my day, thanks for sharing,I don't think I would ever find my mothers shuttle bobbin machine,very happy for you .
