Somehow it got misplaced in all the drama when Mom got Alzheimers, nursing homes, etc. and I never thought I'd see it again. Then I got a phone call asking if I wanted it back (from a family member that was just using it for the cabinet)--you bet I did! It hasn't sewn for probably close to 20 yrs, just been sitting. Took it to a guy lives down the road and it runs like new. I am so proud of it. My next project: fixing my mil's 1919 Singer! I am on a roll!
