Thank you for all the kind comments and suggestions. I am taking a little checklist with me and a foot/attachment from my White FR to see if it is compatible with the Eldredge. If so, I won't have to buy more attachments. It's good to know that I can get by with 15x1 needles; I have a lot of those. I'll post some other pictures when I get her home. An interesting note, to me, anyway, is that this machine was probably made in Belvidere, IL, the same city in which my grandmother, a talented seamstress, was born.
