Items for sale

I decided to sell some of my stuff which I'm not using anymore.

First up is this Bond Elite knitting machine for chunky wool.  It works like a dream and is quite easy to learn.  I just don't have any time for knitting anymore.  The price is R1 000 ($72).




Then I have this Empisal 4 thread overlocker for R500 ($36)



and finally the Brother Innovis 700E embroidery machine for R10 000 ($720).  Since I bought the Big Brother, I don't use this one anymore.

 
130 x 180mm embroidery area

 
It comes complete with PE Basic and the XL frame which can embroider an area of 130 x 300mm.



Prices exclude postage.
