Does anybody know if you can FM with one of those? She sure turns fast. Then with the motor going you can't even see the needle. Maybe she should be painted up to look like a low sleek race car?
HHHMMMM Purple with a red hat. I bet she needs a few flowers. She is butt ugly like she is don't you think?
I don't think she is ugly at all, matter of fact, just more down to earth and no-nonsense. I bet it sews like it means it, and that counts more than looks to me. She might be pretty another color, but her lines are quite impressive to me the color she is.
