It was a housewarming present for my grandson and his wife. She is from China and remembers family members sewing on a treadle. She's very excited to use it, so it has a better home than it had here. She wanted a Redeye, but one isn't pretty enough to gift and one was a gift from my son so it's not going anywhere. She jumped right in cleaning and waxing the cabinet while my grandson cleaned the machine, which it really didn't need.
