That won't work for me - my mini van has windows and he can see right in there - 'specially if there is a table... I can hide a machine though. It really isn't fair - he can hide things in the garage - I NEVER look there - not ever - I would probably go into shock.[/quote]
HEY, Hide it in his garage. Then "accidently" find it and hug him and tell him "Oh honey, I LOVE IT...THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!" LOL

Antique Singer Sewing Machine - $1 (Hilton)
This is an Antique Singer Leather Sewing Machine. It moves freely, has the number 29-4 on the front plate. I have no idea how much this is worth. Need to clean out the garage. Make me an offer!
Plus an old favorite posting is back - guess they are trying again! Should have saved the one I got for $1.50 at the tag sale!

Yikes!! 3 hours sleep? I get lightheaded if I don't get at least 6 hours...more like 7!!
I will see after I get over this and how fast I get over it. I went in the living room and ironed the backing to my FIL's quilt and I am completely exhausted. I mean to the point of being light headed and passing out, this is not like me at all. I guess I am just going to try and go to bed early tonite maybe that will help me. Three hours sleep was not enough for me :roll:

I'm pretty sure I'll be listing it on ebay as I need the money and don't ever plan on having a featherweight.
I'm very excited over my find!!

This book is also available on Barnes & Noble ebooks for free. I have a Nook, so I'm going to download it when I get home. Sometimes the scanned books don't have the pictures and diagrams, so if the downloaded one doesn't I'll check the Openlibrary version. Thanks!

I like this book too and already have a repro copy that I bought off eBay quite a few years back. However, if you go to this link http://openlibrary.org/books/OL6645373M/Sewing_machines
You could have downloaded the PDF version and printed your own copy. I intend to eventually reprint my own copy, because the repro copy I have was not printed very well and I bought it way before eBay had the current buyer protection policies that they have now.
