    This pretty sews great, has all the accessories. PM me for more pics. There are some dings on the handwheel and the upper hinge is broken on the faceplate-a common things with these machines. Stocking darner has never been used. $175 for everything plus shipping.

    Lady is unable to buy at the moment, so she is up for sale again.

    I agree - looks like it would have plenty of open throat space for easier quilting!

    tomilu, I bought a bunch of pins for repairing the upper hinges on these machines - I pull out what's left of the old piece, clean the new pin and the hole with alcohol and set the new pin with JB Weld 2 part epoxy. Very easy fix, if you have the right pin - I had to order 100 of them to get five or six, so you can see, I have a few leftover! :lol:

    If you'd like a couple of these pins, PM me with your address and I will put them in the mail to you. :)
