I've been wanting a sewing machine for months but, being the poor college student i am, i haven't been able to afford one. However, My boyfriend was driving home the other day and saw a strange box on the side of the road, so he picked it up (he's a chronic trash picker/dumpster diver, i get all kinds of fun stuff from his midnight excursions). When he opened it, inside he found this crazy old sewing machine! He gave it to me, and we plugged it in and it works!

I have no idea how old it is, but this thing is solid. I'm pretty sure you couldn't break it if you tried. It seems to be in good condition, and it moves...so i'm assuming it works. I haven't actually tried to sew anything with it yet. But how cool is that? I named her "Rosie"...she's got sass

Now i just have to learn to sew and figure out how it works... :) If anyone is familiar with this machine and could give me some info that would be muchly appreciated.
