OMG! Has that machine ever been used? It looks like it is straight out of the factory. Lucky, lucky you. :thumbup:

I use my wooden ironing board as a plant stand in my sun room. =)

Also, you can download a manual for Pearl. The link is on the Vintage Shop topic.

And btw...you thread this from right to left.

This is one that you could actually sew through several layers of denim etc and it would feel like you were sewing through cotton.I am very impressed with this little power horse. As I'm sure you can tell. lol
