I got mine from my late mother. She got it new after my younger brother was born so she could make his diapers and clothes for my older brother and me. She made most all my clothes and a lot for my 3 brothers through the years. She taught me how to sew on it and I fell in love with sewing. It still runs like a dream and is a work horse. I made the Professional Tote bag with it and had no trouble stitching through the thick fabrics. I made 3 wall hangings (one for each of my brothers) of my Mom at her machine. She loved her pansy's and knitting so I used the pansy fabric and hung them on some of her old knitting needles. I gave them to my brothers for Christmas and they really loved them. I will make one for me but I am going to add another pic with me at the machine.
This is my Mom in her younger years
