Sure enough ... that's how it sits and when I press down on the raw steel part ... up and down she goes.
I think this is one machine I won't be sewing barefoot in.

And another one joins the herd! 
How many are in the stable now?
Hurrah for your DH for recognizing the importance of keeping "Illinois" in the State!
(and of course, for knowing how to keep his LilWoman happy-happy!!

)Hubby is just as interested in my herd although his interest is more in the cabinets. We both prefer treadles to anything.

Ever so important to have him on your side, to nurture the herd along, particularly those that need special care and attention!!!!
