My wife and I are mulling over the idea of making a dedicated HC machine to take to the craft shows so she can work as all the lookie loos walk around. It might make a better impression if she's doing something rather than sitting there bored out of her mind.

So, as we're discussing it, here is her wants:

Simple ZZ, don't need cams or lots of patterns.
Lever type reverse, no push buttons.
Aluminum body
All steel insides

We've been looking at all our machines and we have two that might be doable. But they are cast iron and HEAVY.
For this we need LESS heavy.
The only machine we've found so far that might work is the Singer 237.

So my question for all you hand crankers is what would you suggest?????
