The machine and case were $44.00 and then about $30.00 for the hand crank and wheel and here she is after several hours of cleaning her up and converting her. She purrs like a kitten with a perfect stitch.
Congrats! I have a hand-crank Singer. I have never used it yet. I am trying to figure out how you keep the fabric straight under the presser foot, and crank at the same time, kinda like walking and chewing gum. :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:
