I decided to name her Zelda, meaning "gray battle maid." Zelda is alive and humming at a dear neighbor's but is my backup travel machine if needed. About 10lb.<br /><br />My third machine was also a Pfaff, the one I use daily. It's precise, nimble and pretty. Her name is Gretel, meaning "pearl." About 30lb... not moving Gretel unless it's a trip to the doctor.<br />More on the second and fourth machines later.<br />Alejandrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995972576809245209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179481320604522873.post-78867963673243181782015-03-24T21:27:57.084-04:002015-03-24T21:27:57.084-04:00I've only owned two sewing machines ever.
