Most Home Economics classes had good sturdy sewing machines which are no longer in use. If you have any contacts at your school district, check in with them. Also, go to a local sewing center and see what they gave in the way of trade ins. Many times, they refurbish them to send to Dominican Republic, etc., but may be willing to sell one. There’s always eBay...but they’ve been in big demand this year.
Haven't had anything to do with any school since 69-70. There is a local repair place that I'm going to check out sometime this week. The one I was trying to use froze up as tight as Fort Knox. It was the first time I tried using it after it came back from a repairman with quite a few years experience. I'm a bit leery of anything refurbished.
Thanks for your responding and suggestions.
