I Bought a Sewing Machine!

I have been doing all my sewing by hand, which is rewarding but makes the job goes MUCH slower than if I had a machine. I don't know too much about sewing machines and I didn't want to jump in and buy one until I was sure that I was serious about sewing and that I would actually use it. This past weekend, David and I were at Goodwill and we saw two. Both older but in good condition. I picked the one that was half off, meaning I just got a sewing machine for $12.50! What a bargain! But wait, does it work? We went to David's grandma's house and she showed us what to look for and everything and yes, it works! It's a really nice machine. It's a Necchi-Alco 509-2. It weighs about as much as a car because it's cast iron, not plastic. We don't have a manual for it but we are looking online and trying to find one. I am so excited to use it! It'll make my projects go so much faster and I can get more done! Now the problem is finding where to put it since I don't have my sewing space yet.
