She seems to be a pretty smart person, I bet she clear coated it and then probably waxed the bed to make it slippery smooth.

Sealed and the waxed is my guess. It is probably the new oils that dry right away or maybe acrylic. I imagine she would need to reseal and rewax the bed once or twice a year if using the machine a lot. It could easily be done and for someone that really loves sewing on their customized painted machine that wouldn't be a problem.

I am going to paint several of my machines and my old typewriter. They will have a few decorations but not much because I want to concentrate too. LOL
