I have the exact same machine. I bought it new in 1975. I have recovered my couch 4 times. Made clothes, curtains, pillows, garment bag, and banners (heavy canvas) for church. The only thing it doesn't do well is 1/4" on triangles. Note that the right feed dog is too far to the right so it doesn't catch the bias edge of the fabric easily. Otherwise it's a work horse. Wouldn't give it away for anything.
