I emailed my son this morning asking if he would mind picking up an old, rusty and abused Red-eye I'd won on ebay ($20) for me since he lives about 15 miles from the seller. I just wanted something to mess with and practice cleaning techniques on.
He said, "No problem. I wish I knew you wanted an antique sewing machine. I thought I showed you the one in my garage. It's in way better condition than this. I contacted Vivian when I was cleaning out the garage a couple of months ago and she didn't want it. It was her Grandmother's. It's yours for the taking."
I had no idea what model or year it was until he sent me this photo of it.![Thumb Up](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/thumbup.png)

How wonderful. I just returned from a trip to visit two of my grandchildren. I always bring a sewing machine for them to sew with. This time it was my FW that I brought. They are ages 5 and 7. My grandson, 7, sewed on paper and fabric for several hours. He loves it. My little granddaughter only sewed for about 20 minutes but she practiced putting the needle down, lifting the presser foot, turning the fabric and then putting the presser foot down again before resuming her sewing. FW are so much fun.
