They are extremely sought after. DO not sell it without a lot of thought.
The beauty of the machine is its ability to sew a great straight seam. Very necessary in quilting. It is easy to maintain and a workhorse.

They are light weight and great for taking to classes. I think you should keep it. At first I thought the same way but now I want to get one. I've been collecting old things lately; I told my sister that I think its because I want things in my house that are older than I am and still works. I don't know if that's it but it sounds better than saying I have a "Problem" I do like old things and I'm trying to get a machine for each of my grandkids. If you decide to get rid of it PM me; I live in VA as well.

If you sell it and I had the money, I would buy it.
They are lightweight, easy to handle, fairly quiet, sew a great straight stitch, and are just a really nice little machine.
Hope you decide to keep it and learn to sew with it.
