Oh I just love the color .. she is lovely and I would not change a thing! I have just come into being the owner of two ! I was able to bid on Ebay and ended up with two! I have oiled and lubed them both ... ones light works and the other does not. So I will have to purchase one to replace it.(whole light fixture) I have only come up with a name for one *Mitzi* after my first cat who has passed. The second one I have not named as of yet. Enjoy your beauty!

I really love her too. I do need to figure out how to keep the tension correct and the bobbin thingy working right. I gave her a good cleaning and I think I moved things I should not have. I guess I need to take a Featherweight maintenance class or something.
She is pretty to look at, but I want to be able to use her too.
