She was really thudding loud when it went through the fabric. They took her to their house in Florida, but they sold it, so they no longer need the extra machine. The guy said when their daughter sewed on it she only knew 2 speeds. Wide open and stop. lol I probably won't get a chance to do much with her till next week, as Sunday is my dgd's graduation open house and I still have to finish her quilt for that.
You can check what model she is by the serial number. Like I said, and someone else here also, it looks like a model 99.
