I'm using it as my 'travel' machine when I go to my quilting group at church. I also have a 158-14000 like the one you mention in a previous post. I got one of these as a gift in 1969 or '70 and loved it because I'd never before had a machine with zig-zag and stretch stitches; I was in heaven! I stupidly gave it away about 35 years ago (tears!), so when I found a restored duplicate on e-bay, I grabbed it. It's now the back-up to my modern electronic quilting machine and actually does some things the modern machine won't! It's a gem and I love it.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13064779290602201896noreply@blogger.com
