Such a wonderful memory. Mine has the knee bar too.

I've got a 503 that I bought brand new in 1963. And to this day she is still in working condition. I still sew on it and I also have 9 other machines that are various brands.

Yours is a beauty too.
Have you sewed with yours yet?
Did you get all the cams with her?

Faith is such a smooth running machine.
Looking forward to starting a new project with her.

Blessings,
Sandi

I have cams 1-5 the regular feet, all purpose, zipper, binding, button hole attachment, etc. I'm working on a quilt, she pieces like a dream. Ordered a 1/4 inch and free motion quilting foot from Sew Classic. You'll love the way Faith handles too.

I posted a concern about Faith on the yahoo group and I received an email with suggestions on how to fix the concern.
I am excited to play with the cams and create some pretty designs with them.
