Thanks Miriam. I bought it and then took it back. My 15K treadle is so nice and needs to be restored. It will be wiser to wait for a Featherweight. I think it was just the frustration of going to 6 thrift stores and finding nothing! Next to nothing the Kenmore looked good. But then my sanity was restored and I took it back.
