Wow! That's a great looking machine, good choice for the name too. German machines are lovely to sew with.

Thanks Sharon. I am feeling an affinity with my German machines above all the others, which is totally bizarre considering I don't have one that works!! But it's something about the design and feel of them I really like. I can only imagine I will love using them as well

I can't say anything about the newer German machines, but the Frister & Rossmans and the Hengstenberg that I have are amazing hand-crank machines. very nice stitches, easy to work on. Smoooooooooth. Heather calls them my little BMW's.....
