Right now it remains on the Bench.... hehe
For myself I really do not like the idea of a "display" piece. In this case, this machine was a rust bucket with missing and rusted beyond use parts. I am intending to get this machine as close to "new" as possible and should the universe rotate in my favor and I collect or make the rest of the parts I fully intend to sew with it.
I may be coming into a second one and if so, my plan is to make one of them into a portable with a hand crank and the other in it's original treadle base.
I plan to take it/them to a TOGA event when I can.
