This is a GREAT machine. Mama had one, I had it but gave it to a friend who had made a set of drapes with a needle and thread because she had no sewing machine. Mama would have wanted her to have it. I don't miss it because I know it is being used and I have three great machines to use.
(As I recall, this machine cost about $500 back when that was REAL money, early '60s.)
