Not hard to sew with, on the one I used biggest hint had to do with when you start to pedal, give the wheel a nudge towards you from the top, to get it going :) Congrats on getting that machine! It's nice to know that it will go to someone that will appreciate it! :) |

How lucky can you get?
At least he asked before pitching it. Have fun! Hugs, Sharon |
I would have him place it in writing,in case he passes before he manages to retrieve it.

My suggestion is find a couple of other quilters and offer to help him "spring clean" his house. With the proviso that anything he doesn't want you can keep and/or have a garage sale. I'll bet there are a lot of other treasures in that house that he doesn't think are worth anything - old quilt tops and quilts maybe?
