Both, and for the smaller parts that need to be painted I soaked them in a closed container of nail polish remover, came out great!

Oh no! I do stuff like that all the time. Not with paint, but other goofy things. It will be really pretty, when finished, I'll bet.

Well second time around, all sanded and primed. Just waiting on a nice day to put the first coat of paint on, alas, it is raining today.

First coat, I went with red, I couldn't find an orange that I liked.

I'm leaning towards doing mine in red too:> Though, hot pink is kind of my #2. I'm not at your stage yet, but hopefully in the next week or so!

Well it's coming along slowly, I'm figuring things out as I go, one thing I need a little help with is assembling the pressure foot and needlebar. Can someone take a picture of there's to show me please!
