This is my Betty Boop. All I have is what you can see.
Do you think it is worth buying cams for her and the book or just better to look at her? I bought her at a sale and she has been sitting for a year. I am not familiar with her abilities.

I have one at our place in Texas and love it.
I thought I saw someone here selling the cams lately and don't think anyone bought them. Check ebay also

Yeah....now I'm excited about her again. I heard they were workhorses. OK going to the classified to see if they sold or not and then to ebay. A few things at a time. This is good advice.....use it.....OK :):)

Debbie, she is a beauty.

I have the manual. I'll be glad to copy it and send it to you. Let me know.

I bought mine in 1961 after I graduated from high school. It has made clothing for me and my children, doll clothes, crafts of all kinds and lots of quilts. Still going strong. I had it serviced this past summer and the dealer said they don't make good machines like that any more.

That is good to know. I am so glad I finally posted this. I was embarrassed at first because I did not know about her. Guess it's time to do the research.
