I just couldn't justify $450 for one. He mentioned his mothers. I called my sister-in-law to see if she still had it.(She isn't a sewer/quilter.) She said it was at the farmhouse. We went yesterday and got it. She had the original table stored in her garage. So tonight "Ilah" is in my house, and I am so very proud to have her. She is as clean as if new, and sews like a dream!
