A lady in our town contacted me and wanted to donate a sewing machine and other quilting supplies to our guild. A friend and I went to her house to see what she had. The sewing machine is a Janome Memory Craft 6600 which I understand is a very good machine. But -- the former owner of this machine was a very heavy smoker and even though I have left the machine outside on my patio for 3 days it still smells like smoke. I am not sure it's worth messing with if I can't get rid of the smell. Also, there is no foot pedal. I see it has a start/stop button so it could be used without a foot pedal. I did find a pedal online but it was $70. I can't stand the smell long enough to even mess with seeing if it works or not. Is there anything that can be done to get rid of the smoke smell in a sewing machine. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
