[Nfb-krafters-korner] It is your fault...

OK now I have to blame someone so it is going to be everyone on this  list. 
 With all the talk about Featherweights and the prices of them, I  just 
wandered  over to EBay and was kinda cruising thru the Featherweight  listings. 
 Well I was interested in seeing what a Featherweight that has a  zigzag 
stitch was going for.  I did not come across one of those and I did  not go 
thru the 450 listings, but after 100 of them I zipped over and hit the  NEW 
button.  I did not come up with a new one, but I did find a deal that I  went 
back 3 times to read over and it is all your fault that I hit the Buy It  
button!
 
It is suppose to be an old Featherweight that just straight stitches made  
back in the 30's and they claim it runs well.  What kinda got me and I  
might be a fool since I couldn't see any pictures, but they did have like 5  
pictures posted.  So I figured if they took that many pictures they are not  
trying to hide anything.  They said, "ANTIQUE BLACK SINGER SEWING MACHINE FROM 
THE 1930s EXCELLENT  CONDITION ON AN OAK WOOD STAND. "  Now I see why no 
one made a bid on  it as it was marked as "New"  which means brand new.  So 
that pulls it  out of the "used category and antique catagory, too.  Now why I 
didn't even  make an offer and just bought it was due to the cost and the 
shipping.   They wanted $99 and shipping is free.  So not paying for any 
shipping and  they are including a wooden stand , that did it.  I figured my 
daughter  might never sew as she hasn't shown any interest up to this point, 
but my son  has 3 Princesses and heck these little Featherweights are made out 
of metal and  they are a sure sturdy machine so I can always teach them on 
one of the  Featherweights.
 
Remember it is your fault and that  is what I will tell my husband, John.
