|
Hey Reader! Spring time brings garage sales, estate sales, and sewing machines on the curb. I have very that I want to add to my herd but I'll be looking for them. Are you hoping to find a new to you machine this spring? On The BlogI've been doing a lot of posts on newer sewing machines lately. We want to be a full-service website.
