    She (Fancy) sews perfectly straight with one hand and you can make it go very slowly or very fast so piecing for the quilts would be nice on the and possibly on learning FMQ (haven't tried that yet on ANY machine). But may help me learn that more quickly and quiet....wow....I thought my other vintage's were quiet...this baby is unheard at all.

The machine and case were $44.00 and then about $30.00 for the hand crank and wheel and here she is after several hours of cleaning her up and converting her. She purrs like a kitten with a perfect stitch.
    Congrats! I have a hand-crank Singer. I have never used it yet. I am trying to figure out how you keep the fabric straight under the presser foot, and crank at the same time, kinda like walking and chewing gum. :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:

    Enjoy! Enjoy! There is nothing like a hand crank machine. I have a 201K. That's what I do 98% of my sewing on. I absolutely love it.
