I would NOT put anything branded "Made in the People's Republic of China" :evil: on one of my Singers! UGH.[/quote]
LOL... I wonder if now is the time to experiment with either purposefully cleaning off the decals, or painting over them. At least the HC works great. I bet the granddaughters don't care a bit... !!![/quote]
Kwendt,
The granddaughters will be quite happy. I don't know if I'm up to doing anything with the decals, asthma and smelly chemicals are a bad idea.
Sewbizgirl,
The original Singer hand cranks are beyond my budget unfortunately. I love the original hand crank.
