It is true that if you are patient enough you will get what you are waiting for. The past couple of years I have been looking for vintage sewing machine on ebay, craigslist and at yard sales. Well this weekend I hit the jackpot. I came across a Singer 201-2 machine in its original cabinet at a yard sale. I had them plug it in and the light came on and the needle moved up and down. This was a good sign. And guess how much it was? $15. I was so excited. I brought her home and searched the internet on how to clean her up. Yes, it is a she and I have named her Thelma Olive after my grandmother. (My poor grandmother hated her name!) She runs like a dream and came with the owners manual as well as all of the attachments. I just wish I had the energy at the end of the day to play with her more. I am hoping once the kids are back in school I will have more time to play.
