Dave, just responded to your PM. Thank you so much for this; I was really wary about trial and error with used machines I know nothing about. I'll make sure to repay the favor once I figure out what I'm doing!

Sorry sarge. There's got to be a thrift shop or Goodwill somewhere around you. That's where I find the best machines for very little money. Many good machines are stored away in attics, closets, etc. I stop at yard sales and see them all the time. Talk to little old ladies - bet they could help you easily.
Cool deal! Awesome generosity LB. SZ, Keep your eye open on craigslist and thrift stores for an older all metal/mostly metal machine. Even if it needs serious servicing, it'll be a better machine than any of the inexpensive all plastics machines available now. This is definitely a situation when older is better. If you can find a Singer 201, jump on it. I've got two and they are awesome machines.
Handing off an extra machine is a great way to pay it forward (and really trumps my latest attempt)! I really appreciate the members here helping us newbies along...
My assistance was in the form of materials. Much appreciated.
The 201 is elegantly simple in how it operates. It's smooth, reliable, easy to service, and quiet to operate. It's a joy to use.
