I would probably have never looked at this machine if it didn't have such a sentimental connection for me. I think it's somewhere between "plain" and "plain ugly" - the slightly newer version of this machine is a lot prettier and I think same guts under the hood. But I'd have missed out, so I'm glad I was exposed to this machine when I was young. I definitely appreciate it a lot more now than I did then!
It gives me such memories and makes me wonder what happened to "my" box of fabric scraps at Gran's house when she died. I had some watermelon fabric in there I was saving for something special!! LOL (Watermelons and rainbows, tossed on a teal background if I remember correctly. Ahhh, the 80's....)
