just putting my feelers out; I need a new sewing machine. my little russian doesn't like modern material, modern thread and I think the foot pedal is about to explode judging by the heat coming off it so if anyone in the south essex, south east Notts or Trobridge area have one to spare I (or my darling aunt or wonderful mum in law) can take it off your hands!!!
