A few weeks ago a sewing machine was in the ad,. window of my local post office . I didn't really need another sewing machine but thought I'd enquire about it
anyway . The machine advertised wasn't any use to me . It was a grand quilter useful for quilting big quilts but the lady said `I have a Bernina for sale too` . My ears pricked up .It is a 240 patchwork addition . I didn't need that either but went to have a look . Tried it out , bought it .

The seller said `I have a Janome Mylock overlocker for sale as well . O.K I'll have a look at that . Bought that too . I'm sure these machines had been bought on a whim. I can say I bought as new .
This afternoon I decided to use some fleece fabric from my stash to make blankets for the twins that are booked to arrive in my family in the Autumn . A speedy overlock around the edges . I shall be stting doing blanket stitch on the edges too .
I had change from £500. I am well satisfied.

I think a very good price for two. You can never have to many sewing machines I think it goes with you can never have to much fabric. the twins will be very snuggly when they arrive.
Hi Cottonreel you did very well there. I have had an overlocker for about 15 years and they are a very useful bit of kit. Love the fleeces by the way they look lovely.
Take care

You did very well with your purchases.
Love the fleece.

Sounds like a bargain! Have just been recommended a very reliable machine service person in Leicester - he fixed an overlocker for a friend at church. I can let you have details if you want - email me! blessings x
