Well, I'm gonna see what I can do with her. She got a good oiling and surface cleaning, and she moves right along. She will get the spa treatment in a couple of days, but sadly her decals are pretty shot. I just couldn't stand to think of her being trashed out.

I have one of those in good condition that is electric, and it has a huge space for jamming the quilt into, and sews nicely. I think you will like it once you get it going. (Also have one that needs a treadle base...still looking for that.)
