I believe her name is Charlotte. It came to me when I was making coffee Saturday morning. That was one of my grandmother's middle names (LaVirgie Mary Charlotte) and her mother's first name.

I just love it. That nice hum when it's going full speed... which is really fast compared to my old Kenmore and I had to lower the speed until I got used to it.

I love raising and lowering the presser foot with a tap on the foot pedal. don't have to take my hands off the fabric and it's especially useful when a 1/4" seam gets flipped back the wrong way. Just stop, tap it (I like needle down so it holds my place), lift the fabric up a bit so it flips back the right way, and start sewing again. I love the "Fix" setting so I don't need to backspace at the beginning or end of a seam, it automatically locks it.

I'm sure I could go on and on. I'll find out tonight when I start sewing the purse together that I'm making for my daughter how it does on other projects and thick material.
