Bless you for cleaning her up. She may be a bit used, but I'm sure she sews like a dream. Enjoy her.

Use Billy's tutorials on cleaning the machine up. Choose the level of what you want to do. It is scary at first but easy to do.

Nice job. She's obviously happy to have been rescued. Enjoy!

She is precious and knows she is now in good hands. I can tell she loves you and knows you will take care of her for a long time. She did tell me though that she wanted a new Red coat for Christmas.

With a name like Pearl, if you're thinking of having her painted maybe a Pearl color to match her name. Love my FWs and as long as she's working and makes you happy, what she looks like on the outside doesn't really matter.
