Thanks, Patrice! I'm going to certainly give it a good oiling and wipe down before attempting to sew with it. If it turns out to be gentle on finer fabrics , I'll keep it. The Juki power machine I use really likes thicker material. I had an antique Singer that sewed a delicate edge. Too bad I was forced to let it go!
Anyway... This house is begging to be decluttered.
There just is no storage here.
6 sewing machines here. 2 of them are industrial.
Too bad this one isn't a zig- zag.
