I bought myself an early birthday present today. I found a Morse sewing machine today at Habitat for Humanity store in Lewiston and got it for $25. It says "automatic zig zag" after the name. It is heavy heavy machine.
For my fellow farmgirls.........it weighs more than a square bale!
The only thing is it doesn't have a book with it. I'm going to have to spend some time(if I can find any) and play with it to figure it out.

Does anyone else have one of these machines?
Can anyone tell me anything about it?
I will research it online, but it's just not the same as getting the info from someone who currently owns one or who used to own one.

Thanks Carrie, I did print that off right away.

Sure would like to hear from any farmgirl who has had one of these machines.
