When I saw the machine after Grant worked his magic, I was just blown away. I had wanted to get it in shape to sew on, and got back a machine that looks like new. Now I can understand why my Mom never wanted to trade it in. Thank you Grant!
Bucky (is that the squirrel's name?) we are so happy to be part of your story! Yes, women use to get very attached to their machines. I know because my mother's only request before she passed away is that I keep her beloved Pfaff 130. I share your story - I learned to sew on my Mother's Pfaff. I know what that machine means to you now too! Grant did an amazing job!
