I love mine for many reasons: the way it sews, the fact that it is a piece of history, sews a perfect stitch, portability, and so darn cute!! It looks like a toy and feels like I'm really "playing". I keep mine downstairs so I can use it whenever and wherever. My big Bernina stays put in my sewing room.
We also love antiques so that was a real draw for me. My hubby wants me to leave it out all the time b/c it's so pretty!! :D
Now I'm looking for a white one ha ha ha
