The Aristocrat



 I get sewing machines in odd ways sometimes. This very nice Aristocrat was given me by a customer who wanted a couple of machines serviced, and needed to make some space. So this and 4 others arrived on my doorstep, no charge. (Needless to say, the servicing on her other two machines was free)
While I love the color combination, I am taken by the stitch length control. If you look closely at the picture, you will see that on the top, there are numbers for stitch length. On the bottom, in the totally unnecessary window, you will see that the stitch lengths are represented by a series of two gold dot combinations, spaced closer and closer together as the length setting decreases. Not sure what the purpose of this is, but it's different and interesting.
