Can't believe that with all the machines I have I don't have a spoked handwheel hanging around.
I broke a bone in my foot (long story, not interesting, something about getting older). So, I discovered that while I can drive a car left footed, I cannot work a motor control left footed. So last night I used the treadle, today i am thinking hand crank. Good to have options! Laura

I have this exact machine. It is very good for FMQ or just regular sewing. I hate that shipping is so much for the machines. I hope somebody can rescue it. I got it myself, because my first car, a 1973 Cutlass Supreme, was that exact same color, with the little red accents, and chrome. LOL Even my husband understood it when I put it in car talk.

But being an old furniture restorer I take things for granted and just think every one should know these things. I forget the I have been doing this for 40 + years so please forgive me. It will not happen again.
