Default I bought a Lydia 3....

I can't wait to see the broken CAM shaft!

I'll take pictures after I get her cleaned up, it's insanely gross.

I'll be happy with a straight stitch, if not, I'm wasted $10 on worse things.

I'm fairly sure cat pee is involved, at least that's what was on the cover. Here's to hoping for the best!

Oh, the machine is way better than the case. The case was gross. The machine is dirty. The stitch selector knob is broken.

It's too bad they went plastic for the camstack, because those are really cool machines, though they take some getting used to because the stitch selector is where the hand wheel normally would be on other machines.

Hope it works out!
