ArizonaKAT,
I see charlee already helped you out with the needle size. I recently aquired a 1913 White Rotarty (Miss Sophie). Can't tell you why but she is the gal that stole my heart. Remember, she drives backwards -meaning instead of pulling the hand wheel toward you, you will be pushing it away.
Have you sewn with her yet? I positively love this gal.
This weekend she is going to be the producer of a tiny quilt for a tiny chair (which I need to paint first). I'm looking forward to spending time with her.
best,
d
