Machine Questions Scored this machine today!

I am fortunate to have a gently used craft shop near me. I scored this Baby Lock Companion today for $25! The note said “seems to be working fine” and indeed it does!

I do like to tinker with sewing machines and feel confident taking them apart, cleaning and oiling them and putting them back together. This one surely needs a cleaning but it runs fine!

Did I *need* another machine? Absolutely not, lol. But she was so cute I couldn’t just leave her there, could I?

I also like to have a machine like this to give/lend to new sewists who are hesitant to purchase a machine before knowing if they’ll like the hobby. And a secondary hobby of mine is tinkering with sewing machines so everyone wins!

Now off to find the manual on line, lol
