I'm using my hand on the wheel to maintain a speed -- and it brings back so many memories; I always used to have my right hand on the wheel. The process of sewing is slower than using my Viking -- but I love the slowness.
Amazing how light affects color in photos. The block on the machine is the same block in 2nd photo. The colors are true in photo #2.
