Who can resist lavender? I couldn't

Here's my new vintage baby, a Necchi Supernova Julia.
Made in either the late 50's or early 60's, it's a very neat machine. I bought it because it does decorative stitches, and I want to see how it's done. Sorta like the fact that I just sit there and watch my ruffler foot do its thing - somehow irresistible.Even the case is adorable with a plaid pattern.

I did blow a capacitor in the foot pedal when I powered her up, but I believe that's easily fixable.
The stitches picture is a comparison between the Necchi and my Bernina 440 QE. Stitch #1 is the Necchi, the others are the Bernina.
