I use the 53 the most - she sews beautifully and I take her with me every week to sewing group plus she will be going with me to the sewing retreat in Lincoln City, OR in 2 weeks that 18 of us from Washington, Oregon and Northern California are going to.

I will have to take some pictures of them and post.

Thanks,
