I think it will be a great machine for quilting if I get it running. The feed dogs are easy to drop, the presser foot pressure adjusts, and straight stitch is really all I use for quilts. It has zig zag but I have worries about whether I’ll ever get that functioning. It also accepts cams for decorative stitches, though this machine didn’t come with any. I found some on eBay but won’t invest in any until I know I can get the zig zag working.
Right now it’s in pieces on my workbench. I need to take the tension assembly off because there’s rust on the tension plates. I want someone to come hold my hand 😬. Wish me luck. (The thing taking the most time in the restoration is me getting up the courage to take things apart because I’m afraid they’ll never go back together.)
