My first one I got on Ebay a few years back. Then, about two years later, my sweet MinL gave me hers because her eyes were starting to go. She made a lot of her own clothes on it. It was her first or second anniversary gift and she is 90 now. I love having it and think of her every time I use it. The other has been a bit neglected but I'm hoping to make the room to have both set up with different colored threads or something.
