Me, too. I think the blue/green under the yellowing shellac is lovely.

Well, I got it stitching tonight and the stitch is very nice! I had to retime it, though. It does take 15 x 1 needles and the bobbins I'm sure I can't get anymore. They're odd looking.

I got the motor cooperating again and although I cleaned it, the machine still stitches pretty slowly. I guess I'd sew slow too if my motor was from the 1940's. I don't know if it would ever be a machine I could work properly on due to the speed, but it sure is neat. I'm going to do my best to try to save the aqua color if I can. It has grown on me.

Candace, I think your machine is talking to you. And if she only wants to sew slowly, there will be times that a slow machine will be better than a fast one.
