Look what came home with me!

Babylock Blind Hemmer-Nov 2010
One of our ASG members had a sale several months ago at her home.  She is downsizing and selling several of her sewing/embroidery machines as well as other sewing related items. 

She had shared with me several years ago how she won a blind hemmer machine in an auction.  She also told me she had never used it.  I mentioned to her if she ever decided to sale it to let me know as I wanted a blind hemmer machine.

When she announced her sale, I emailed her and told her I could not make it to her sale and I was still interested in the blind hemmer if she was making that part of her sale.  She did not put the machine up for sale at the time.
Last month she asked if I was still interested in the machine and I agreed to take it off her hands.  So when I joined several ladies for dinner prior to ASG she said she had the machine in her car and we transferred it to mine.  I think I got myself a real bargain.
I hope to get it threaded to try it this weekend.  Isn’t she lovely?  Here’s another view-
