She gave it to me about 8 years ago. Garage Sale purchase. No manual or anything. It wouldn't sew and I was incredibly naive, so had a shop fix it and spent what it would have cost to get a new machine. I thought she was going to kill me. I stopped using it because it's 50 pounds and I can't heft it around by myself. Hubby's project for tomorrow is pulling it out of the garage so I can reaquaint myself. I'm hoping to get to fiddlin' with it tomorrow.
Hubby did promise me a day of thrift stores tomorrow to ease my agitation from lack of piecing. I might just take him up on that offer.
