I could use the old heads in the garden. By August they would disappear under the weeds. In November they would look all scraggly and scarey. Nope. I think they go to the tip.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285943308096103980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-2248797295495802082013-12-07T16:31:22.492-05:002013-12-07T16:31:22.492-05:00I've never come across a 3/4 cabinet.

I have one, but this one is in so much nicer shape, both cabinet and machine. I don't suppose you have a 66 slide plate to sell? Do you have people nearby who make yard art or found object art? Maybe they'd be interested in supplies, much to the horror of some collectors - those in stages 2-4 in particular.<br /><br />I too have many "projects" that I don't think I'll ever get to, and books and fabric, and......

Great price on the Red Head, I would buy it if we were closer. Not that I need one, but they are beautiful. It was the first one I restored, a family machine, and my daughter has it now. <br /><br />I love your blog and would comment more often but it is no fun from my tablet, and I'm not on the "real" computer that much any more. But I read and enjoy each post.<br />Cheryl WarrenDragonPoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167170431185422351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-65663559568780149482013-12-06T15:21:01.214-05:002013-12-06T15:21:01.214-05:00Hear! Hear! As hard as it is to ditch some of the ...Hear! Hear! As hard as it is to ditch some of the rusted out machines believe me I know first hand how you are helping out your family. My paternal grandparents died within a week of each other.... Grampa on Sunday, Gramma had a stroke on way to his funeral... died next day. They had 2 house, 2 businesses and she saved a lot of stuff! We found savings bonds stashed in the water heater padding (remember those?). Mom found a 3 carat diamond with the setting in a flower seed package in the file cabinet. Money in books etc... a bank pass book was also found in a book (1 we had donated to Good Will.... luckily they tracked us down! ) it had $5000 in the account. And it went on and on.... for 5 years b/4 they could close the estate. So, needless to say my folks (my dad was the one who inherited) have weeded out a lot of their things so my brother and I don't have to go thru the same thing. Unless people are willing to pay for the shipping/and your time/or come to your home and pick things up... seems to me they have no room to gripe! Hang in there. I can imagine your getting all kinds of extra room. <br />djcogdill@q.comJean C.http://dougjean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-60706903170527348862013-12-05T22:31:43.654-05:002013-12-05T22:31:43.654-05:00I hate seeing machine carcasses too.

Plus, I have had them for three years and know I will never get to them. I am doing my family a favor by ditching them now.

I still have the cabinet I bought in pieces and with the weather, I don't know how I am going to refinish it. I want to put the 237 in it, but can I get it done? The legs were easy and quick to redo, but the cabinet, ugh. Love that cabinet, looks ready to pedal. I understand, but hate seeing sewing machine carcasses, especially ones not rusted out. I have great joy in sewing with the 201 that I could not get with plastic. I know. Like your rearranging.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.com
