It's like the "used hard and put away wet" machines are just that much more likely to finish the job or do it with the least amount of fuss.
OK, I'm going to get my board and nail and shorten Alice's belt. She deserves to be able to show people what a 126-ish yr old machine can stitch like. Had a gal here today to pick up her FW and she'd never seen a VS machine before. I could hear Alice clearing her throat and asking for a belt tightening and some thread and fabric.
