I've never used a shuttle and long bobbin before, but she sews a nice stitch and it wasn't too hard to do. It will be a while before I get her in the treadle to really try her out.

Very nice, Bennett!!! That Barkeepers Friend works great....I decided to try it when I was cleaning my Davis, as my hubby and I had used it on the chrome and other metal on our '62 T-Bird and it worked great. I like how it cleans without scratching anything.
