I did get my Serata HC up and running.I sewed my first project on it. I made two mug rugs. One for myself and one for Betsy, my friend that gave her to me. I have never named my machines, but after embroidering 'Betsy' on the mug rug, I decided to name the machine Betsy after her. I will probly name the Singer treadle Elizabeth after the place she was made. That is also the name of one of my DGDs. {Elizabeth Rainee H...but we have always called her Rainee} So far, my favorite is the hand crank.
