Although she is certainly not either of RARE or ANTIQUE, she is really nice. How does the cabinet look? You didn't put up pics, but sometimes the cabinet is the jewel of the deal. Be sure you put pics of the cabinet up.

The cabinet is pretty nice. Seems as if someone recently refinished it. It needs drawer pulls, and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some. Wouldn't hurt it to get a good cleaning too, but with all the critters I have, a good cleaning wouldn't last long!

Ok, I got needles today and tried her out. This is the first time I've ever used a knee-majig. I had to adjust the tension, of course. Wasn't too bad. It feeds the fabric really really well! Um, I was expecting it to be a little bit faster, but that's ok with me. The only real complaint I have is that I release my leg but the needle keeps going. I think I might have a loose belt or something.
