This is off the topic but just had to say that you are the first person I've heard that also has a Penney's machine. Mine is called a Pencrest and is about 42 years old. It makes a very nice straight stitch and would always work even if it had been years since I had last used it! I did buy a Pfaff 3 years ago when I first started quilting and I love it, also.
