I didn't have it long enough to do much else with it. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

They were made by Brother and oddly, mine has a gold plate on it that says Brother. There were several different models and body types. The one I have and the one in the picture is the same body as my Brother 260....straight stitch only, but a good one and really fast..I love both my turquoise Brother and his cousin, the Pink Atlas! The one in the picture is missing the spool pin by the bobbin winder on the front base, but the top spool pin looks ok...It is retractable and you need to press the base to get it to full length. You'll still be able to wind bobbins, as you can have the thread go from the top spool down to the the thread holder on the base and up to the winder...these machines aren't fussy! -- Edited on 1/18/13 8:08 PM -- ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

They are very strong, you can get parts for them, and if you oil them, they should never wear out. ------ A sewing machine is just a welder for textiles.

It is my workhorse machine. While I do have electronic and computerized machines, as well, they do not have some of the features of my Atlas. Also, they are noisy and frequently develop issues. The Atlas is whisper quiet and, as long as I clean it and keep it oiled, it keeps going strong. Mine is the one like the Brother Select-o-Matic with multiple stitch patterns.
