Hoo boy! Made a date to see a White in a Mission cabinet tomorrow. Y'all are such a bad influence--I keep seeing this cabinet and so want one. :) Now I have to figure out if I can get it in my car.
Then of course I see this: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/atq/2636341193.html
I really hope someone has a good home for it, because I'd have to call on it too just so it wouldn't feel neglected. Then my family really would think I'd lost it.

I think too, Glenn said that you could use a 15x1, and just not put it as far into the clamp as you normally would?

If it has a "can" in the bobbin area that holds a spool then it is a Two Spools machine.
I have seen them sell as high as $650 on ebay, last year.
Keep it!!!! It's a great machine for piecing.

I am going to try and to make the ISMACS get together after talking to my wife tonite. She really wants to meet as many folks on here as she can and I want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me during this hard time. And I think Lisa (Quiltaddict) will be there and if that is so we are going to do some serious dumpster diving!!!
