having a hand crank around is Handy!
Has anyone else here found that they use their hand crank more than any other machine for small sewing tasks around the house because its so Handy? I love not having to deal with plugging stuff in and dealing with cords. Just thread and crank.
Also, my 99 handcrank is my machine that I take to quilt guild meetings now. Its awesome for piecing and not having to deal with extension cords to my table. And its always a conversation starter.
