Yes, I bought this one because I wanted a hand crank.... and I loved the decals. I just finished a quilt on it and it works beautifully..... but I keep reaching for the foot pedal..... habit I guess. And, I miss having a light right on my work. I'm thinking of rigging up an old desk lamp to use with it. It's been good exercise for my arm..... still a little sore at times even after a year.
