It's just so big and I have very limited space for working on it that I seem to shove it to the back burner in favour of something smaller and easier to move. My DH said that it needs 10 men and a hairy boy to move it.
I have a 16-41 treadle in a rebuilt and smaller table in storage. I would love to have space to use it, and am working on that by selling off some of my "stuff". It has alternating pressers, and I'm not sure what that really means, so would love to use it and find out. According to literature on it, it's for "general work in cloth and leather", so should be great to sew on--if I ever get it in the house, cleaned, etc.
