I miss the knee control
My mother's machine, which probably dated form the 20s or 30s, had a knee control. I learned to sew on it and made all my clothes up to and including tailored wool suits. I never knew there was another way to control a machine til my father bought me a wonderful Dressmaker about 1971 or 72 which I still have to this day. It had a foot control and it took me ages to learn to use it! Now I have a Bernina, a Pfaff and a FW in addition to the Dressmaker, but I still miss the knee control. Anybody else wishing for the old days?
