Sweet. Have fun with that! Low poly count sounds like a good idea.

added some detail to the foot pedal. Now I'm at 4769 tris.. meaning I have only 231 faces to make the sewing machine itself. So I am going to bump up the final count to 5500, so I can have a bit of freedom with the sewing machine itself.
