This is a hilarious image! I'm still laughing. But I think I would get a neck/head ache if I had to sew like that. For that machine I think a knee bar would be perfect. Another thing -- where is the bobbin and how do you wind it?

It looks very cool!

hahahaha i'm imagining pulling my left knee up to try to use it to press down on the base of the machine and get it to go!

the issues she said new people have trouble with - how to thread a machine, how to use the footpedal, and having enough room in the harp area - honestly, the first two you can master in a few minutes, and then you practice to get fluent. the harp area - i've never thought that was a problem until i was sewing quilts. how big of a seam is she sewing?

but kudos to her for her inventiveness. it's a worthwhile goal and it does have a certain artful & beautiful appearance. love the wooden base, as long as it doesn't wear and start giving splinters!

I would love to try sewing on it! Think of it the pressure of your hands on the be to make it go! Very classical styling think of some of the very early sewing machines with minimalist styling. Awesome.

It reminded me of the early machines. Looks very cool.

Cool looking machine!

Not sure about pressing down on the end of the base to control speed tho. Seems more complicated than foot control - that's like an accelerator on a car - so why was it considered an issue in the first place?
