Toys - old and new!

Singer

I received 2 new toys last week - a Singer Featherweight that I got for an incredible price on ebay. It's not a pristine machine, but for what I paid, it was a very good bargain. I still haven't fired it up yet to see how she sews, but I've got my fingers crossed that with a tune up, she'll be purring like a kitten.



Why haven't I tried sewing, you ask? Well, that could be because I've been a little wrapped up with my other new toy - the Blackberry Pearl. I'd been contemplating getting a new cell phone anyway, and found an incredible deal where I got this baby for free (after rebates). It is so incredibly cool and I can receive my emails AND surf the web from my phone - so fast, too! The pages load unbelievably fast. Don't know if you can see it, but there's a picture of my blog on the screen. It's way too much fun. I can see why they call them "Crackberries" Very addicting!Toys

  2. I have had a Featherweight for a while and love it. I also have a Bernina and love that but it's nice to be able to pick up the FW and bring it anywhere in the house to piece. It sews a perfect quarter inch seam. Enjoy!

  3. What a bargain. I bid for one on e-bay here in the UK not long ago but it sold for way more than I wanted to pay.

  5. One a choice to have to make. I think I would play with the phone and test the sewing machine at the same time

  6. Lisa, my mother Nicole says she recnelty discovered your blog and you both have been emailing! I just bought a new Singer this Monday! I am in love with mine, but do not have a 1/4 inch foot for it yet. I also bought a cherry red soft sided bag to carry it around in. Oh it makes me feel grown up and like a proper quilter, liek I'm in some new club and joined the ranks of serious quilters like my mom and aunties. Love your blog, my mother says you both were seperated at birth, you love all the same things.
