You sure will enjoy that little machine.They are so great!! I love mine and I do all of my quilts on that little machine.I just bought a brand new Bernina and I still like that machine the best.

Congratulations on your new baby! I have 2 and they are sweet! They just purr when they sew.

I just sold one of mine to a real lucky lady.She hasn't got it yet,but she will soon be getting it.I get attached to them,but I did break down and let one of them go.I know that it is going to a good home and I just can't wait until she gets it.She is going to love it. They are fantastic!!

I love it!

Yep, she's a beauty, and you will love sewing on her.

Thank you for all your compliments on my little girl. I am going to give her a once over for oiling and general maintenance today. I don't think she has been used in quite some time. I noticed there was some lint build-up under the needle plate, so I clean that out as well. I'll be doing some piecing on her today, probably some four patch blocks just so I can use to her. By the way, what needles do you ladies use to piece with and what thread does she prefer? I did read the manual, but I wanted to ask your opinions...

Very Nice & yes he is a keeper

What a wonderful hubby. Lovely machine.

just regular everyday singer needles - found at wally world and anywhere else...
I use cotton thread for piecing...

don't pull that little piece of "red lint" out of the bobbin case (or anywhere else you see some) - it's for keeping the machine oil where it needs to be

Yes wonderful guy and great machine

a true beauty... these little machines just blow me away and one day I shall have one of my very own.

I found gray lint but no red lint. I oiled her and put some machine lubricant for the motor according to the areas the manual showed. Maybe the red lint was gone before I got her. Hope that doesn't make a difference. Didn't see any in the bobbin area either. Thanks for the info!!
