Joe,
Sure, why not? Miriam, On the arm it is marked as a darner. It does not have a feed system, so FM quilting should be right up it's alley. It has had a rough life. It appears to have been dropped on it's handwheel. The machine turns freely but the handwheel has run-out. The first thing I need to do is see if the main shaft is bent or is the runout from a bend handwheel. If it is the shaft, I have straighten the main shafts before on smaller machines, so it should be doable. I can hardly wait. I can't get home until Sunday as I'm on Mom duty since the care giver is not available this weekend. I'll post more about this on Sunday or Monday. Cathy

I'd love to get this machine, but I can't afford $450 for a vintage machine right now! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/3395116380.html This is one that is left on my wish list! I could mend all my tack with that machine - I'd bet!

Judy,
If you come to one of the TOGAs you'll get to see it. BTW, I responded to your post on the Gold Country TOGA yahoo groups. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Cathy

With the storm today am going thru my stuff looking to see if I can help bluelady out when she got volunteered to make quilts for boys in Afghanistan. her DIL thought they could just whip them out in no time flat. 15 no less.
