So, I was torturing myself again perusing CL (why? I already have more machines than I use...), when I came across this:

ETA: I think this is really cool, I'm not saying these people are smoking anything!

This looks like my machine. I named her Abby. Guess why. Got her for 40 and paid 25 to get her rewired and cleaned up. A great machine and fun to play with.

She makes the best chain stitch, so not for just any sewing. Go to youtube and see all that the lady there does.
