Have to go look at it tomorrow, if it will work for what I want to do. Thanks.
Take a sample of the type of fabric you'll be working on to sew. That includes the thread. That's the only way you'll know if it will do what you want. If the owners refuses to let you sew on it--I would walk away from it.
