It took me awhile, but here is my birthday machine all put together, polished up and pretty! I did put a new motor and foot control on it because I didn't trust the wiring on the old motor, but other than that, it just needed a good cleaning and a little TLC to get a nice straight stitch. I hadn't thought much about a name for her, but it came to me as I was putting her back in the case...Big Bertha! This is one heavy gal and being that she arrived on my big birthday, Big Bertha just seemed to fit!

Big Bertha looks so pretty and seems ready to go!
That's Big BEAUTIFUL Bertha thankyouverymuch... LOL! She is gorgeous!!!!!!
Wow Love the name ! And glad you got her fixed up and ready to sew with.
I am wondering if the one I have here would be worth it to fix up as there is no bobbin case ,parts of it is rusty and whoever had her last put a outdoor extension cord on it to plug in with. Not good at all!
Oh, how she shines! You have a beautiful friend in Bertha, good job on the clean up ~
:-}pokey
She's a beauty! And thoroughly modern with all those "tatoos"!
Yes a perfect name for her and she is definitely pretty all clean and polished.
Big Bertha is just beautiful! You did a great job with her.
She is a real beauty. They definitely improve with age!!!
What a wonderful birthday gift! I love mine too. I put a hand crank kit on mine.
