When I took it out a couple weeks ago and looked it over well, the motor mounts (broken) were removed and I began cleaning her up and falling in love. So with the help of some of you and Billy, the decision to handcrank her was made!! I hadn't even been able to sew with it before the installation, so today for the first time, she sewed a straight even stitch and she and I will live happily together forever!! LOL!
