      Congratulations Allan! It really looks nice. Thanks for sharing this picture.

      Singer is a renowned brand in sowing machines. I can almost hear the typical sound of the machine as you pump the pedal and the rustle of the cloth moving ahead as it gets stitch line :-)

    Allan,
    is that second hand machine still available? If this loan gets fully funded, will you be able to purchase it as you had indicated earlier?
