This sewing machine features an advanced threading system, easy to use control panel with LED display, and a selection of 80 built in stitches. It has a quick set bobbin and F.A.S.T bobbin winding system. It also features a slide speed control, an extra large sewing bed, a seven point feed, presser foot pressure adjustment, and an accessory compartment which includes a variety of stitching feet.
A Brother walking foot valued at $50 is also included in this sale - never used.
I am happy to negotiate the price.

Pleas for Government help to allow management of Christchurch's bus service to be transferred to the city council have fallen on deaf ears.

A letter co-signed by Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and Environment Canterbury chairman Steve Lowndes asked for swift changes to be made to the Local Government Act, which currently blocks the transfer of public transport responsibilities from ECan to the city council.

But Transport Minister Phil Twyford said in a letter sent more than a month later that he had no intention to fast-track the changes needed.
