Not sure about the whole hand crank, never done it, what do you all think of hand crank sewing?

Hollyann, I converted a 99 from electric to handcrank, and I am very happy with it. It is not hard at all to guide the fabric with one hand, and it does sew rather fast for being a hand operated machine. I haven't sewed a lot on it yet, but when we start going camping again I know I will be taking it with me.
