I use this and my other way to deal with odors is a dryer sheet.

Oh, what a find! Glad that u have it now. If only I can find my grandmother's machine, would make great memories of her using it when i was very little.

Let me pick my jaw up off the floor...what a lovely gift from your mom. You will always be reminded of her every time you sew. Is my face a little green?

What a thrill for you! You say your mom was not a sewer, but maybe early on she used it for only what she absolutley had to, like repairs. I am excited for you!
