Update on handcrank: Got her today. The woman still owns about 6 or 7 FW's (not planning on selling them) but has some attachments she's like to sell. Trying to find out what is in one box - can't tell for sure and she hjasn't answered the latest query. Speaking of attachments, I received some with the machine, which is nice, but no manual. She's a backclamp 66 though.

Billy, I need 8 of the rubber pads for the feet and if you have the round little plastic ring for the light switch.
Still sew excited! But going to stay away from the garage sales this weekend.

The next time one of your hubbies says something about you bringing home another machine just ask him if he rather it be a younger guy......... :mrgreen:

He has to agree, whether he says so or not.

I will get pics when it is safe. But I think I am in trouble because I asked him to build me shelves in my sewing room this weekend and that is where it is hiding. I think I might have to fess up soon....
but... but I only spent 7$ on it
:thumbup: :XD:

I know we will be keeping an eye out.

I don't really know much about it but the people are moving and need it out of the house. It was being advertised as a different model but I recognized it.
