Some of us were talking of this machine a week or so ago. It is so streamlined, isn't it? Reminds me of a Gulf Stream motor home. Or a retro mixer. Way cool! And the cabinet is great, too. You are drawn to the machine because it is simple elegance, as well as a picture of classic engineering design. Or maybe because it is not the usual frilly. It is so basic that it oozes strength and dependability. (Geesh, maybe I wrote ad copy for sewing machines in another life!)
