She (Fancy) sews perfectly straight with one hand and you can make it go very slowly or very fast so piecing for the quilts would be nice on the and possibly on learning FMQ (haven't tried that yet on ANY machine). But may help me learn that more quickly and quiet....wow....I thought my other vintage's were quiet...this baby is unheard at all.

The machine and case were $44.00 and then about $30.00 for the hand crank and wheel and here she is after several hours of cleaning her up and converting her. She purrs like a kitten with a perfect stitch.

Love your machine! I want to do this too! :)
|
wow, that is wonderful.
|
great job. love the new baby.
|
have to ask.... how long does it take to wind a bobbin by hand????? I would love to try one of these.... or a treadle!
|
Very pretty.
|
Enjoy! Enjoy! There is nothing like a hand crank machine. I have a 201K. That's what I do 98% of my sewing on. I absolutely love it.
|
Love it! Very pretty machine, you did a great job cleaning her up.
|
Wow! I didn't even know it could be done. Great job!
