    Deedum, I was a little emotional when I first started to read your thread concerning your little lady and I cried and cried. It reminded of stories of 'unwed girls that had to make the choice of placing their new born's for adoption.' Think of what they had to go through, I'm glad that you chose to keep the little lady. She is a beauty.

    Yes that is it exactly! It's like I don't need her since I have several machines, but she needs me! I remember when I found her, nobody wanted her, it was apparent, the lady I got her from practically gave her to me or she was going to the dumpster. I just couldn't have that!

    I am hoping to get a 99-13 very soon. I am really looking forward to adding one to my tiny little collection...so far 1 Elna Supermatic and 1 Singer 301A. I like the eMachines!! :-)

    I think you should keep it, at least for a while so you can use it and "bond" with it. I haven't even sewed my 301a yet, but already I am bonded to her. Give her a name, and you won't ever want to part with her. :-)

    Deedum, that's right name her and that will definitely be her home. She reminds me of my BFG,(WillieAnna), small but sassy.

    I named her Annabelle when I bought her home! My 15 is Matilda. Funny how my old machines have old fashion girl names.

    I bought a 99 the other day that I found in a thrift store for $50 and thought it was a good price sews great. However, it did not have a case I found that the cases are indeed worth more than the machine. There is someone make them listed on Ebay. I might just make one myself.
