the New Home is home!
 
Got worried as the packing wasn't as good as it could have been - machine was able to roll side to side inside the box, but at least that was the only problem so it did survive. I wish sellers would realize - if the machine can move inside the box - it WILL move inside the box.

The needle clamp did work itself free, but I found it in the packing after checking the listing and making sure it was suppose to be there.

It's a small machine - at least compared to the Singers, very nice lines. And the best part, my goofy feet will fit! When I pulled off the top clamp, the bar is machined done to a quite narrow end. I have several feet with a small hole like that -

I'll take pictures later - need to get back to work, but I'm so excited I had to share.

Very slim - makes the Red Eye seem overweight.

This is a full size machine, only seems small compared to the others.

Here she is with a 3/4 size Standard machine - it has an extension on the end so makes the bed seem longer

I have two more boxes, but they are partial sets that are the same as what I've got here - these are five different types, though not all the sets are complete. And some of them have a mixture of pieces that I've got to correct.

One of the things unique about the New Home is this cut down presser bar - if you know of a machine other than a New Home with this - please let me know.
