My left ear is still ringing, so I brought her home cleaned it up and she sews like a dream, Now I'm not an "Old Machine" person, Sorry but I like the Newer machines, so after cleaning oiling and lubricating I plugged it in and WHALA beautiful purring, So I call my mom back and tell her "It Doesn't Work!!" and asked her to Listen while I put the phone close I stepped on the pedal and she purred like a Kitten!!,, Happy Birthday Mom!!!! She will Love this Machine!! I actually liked running this Machine. and who can go wrong for $15.00????
