That is one beautiful machine! If mine looks half as sweet I'll be happy.

Will do, but I'm a novice when it comes to this. At least this sweetie won't end up as bookends, a lamp or in the trash heap.

I always thought they ended up as boat anchors.

Glenn...you did a great job on that machine. Yes, we all want to see before and after pics.

It's going to be a gem once it's all cleaned up. Congratulations! I'm so glad you got it. As the person who previously owned it packages it in a trash bag, the poor thing was in need for a new loving home.

I'm wondering how anyone with a shred of self-respect could send anything packaged like that! Horrors! I hope you leave him a juicy review.

But, it's a testament to the machine.-- clearly indestructible. Can't wait to see it after TLC.

Glenn , yours is stellar! What a beauty. I've never heard of the brand, though.

Glenn your machine IS gorgeous. I hope kch1983 your machine sews beautifully. It too will be gorgeous once cleaned up. That is a very sorry packing job. I hope it is ok once it's cleaned up and 'tested'.

kch1983's machine will clean up very nice and sew great. I take mine to Toga to use for the projects we do and I even make civil war clothes with this machine. Put a few quilts together with it to. My go to machine. Thanks for the nice comments on the machine. It takes a 12X1 needle (Boye23) but there alternatives to these.
