SEWING MACHINE FAIRY STRUCK!

I was cleaning out my closet, and you'll never guess what I found -- a lovely tan-and-white Singer 401A in perfect condition. It only has the teeniest of scratches on the bed and absolutely no rust or anything. The bobbin winder looks like it was never used -- still has the little molding joint on it. No power cord, though, but that is a minor technicality. (I wonder if the power cord from my 500A will fit it.)I saw this SM case and thought, "What machine is this?" and opened it, and I about dropped dead in shock! I don't remember *ever* getting one, although I have looked for them lots to complete my sewing machine garden :). My 500A will be SOOOO happy to have another little sister closer to her age who she is more in common with than my 301A (another tan-and-while model) and 221.Now to get a power cord for this little angel. Don't need cams -- I bought tons when I got my 500A.Melinda, floating on thin air

Yes, exactly! Thanks for putting words to it for me!

Now I know just what to say.

Have you ever seen a fabric that you thought "Gee, that would look nice as...." but didn't buy it for whatever reason - and then looked for it again AND IT WASN'T THERE? It is the fear of not being able to get those three metres of that oh so cute (or different, or whatever adjective you go by) fabric that spurs us on. At least we know that we have that metreage - we're just waiting until we remember what it was we were going to make! Cynthia
