The sewing machine that the service man refers to as The Anchor and repeatedly tells me "this IS the last time I will do a cleaning on the relic".
I know he will work on it again if needed.
I love my old Singer.
It is my sewing workhorse.
My one hold on a time when then things were built to last.
Nothing fancy, no computerized stitching, just sewing.
There has been a storm of sewing going on and will have more to share soon.

Never give up on your old Singer! My mom had a similar one that operated with a foot pedal--she had it converted to electricity.

I have my mother's over-60 years old Singer Featherweight, and it is the best sewing machine EVER! My mother, my sister and I all sewed all our clothes on it for years. MY repair guy loves mine almost as much as I do!

I am just getting started with a sewing machine--new this year. Your beautiful machine is a piece of art in itself! But I admire you for being able to use it...I need a machine that practically runs itself!

Oh my... my mother still has one of these, works like a charm! :]
She is a beauty, it's she? <3

I used a White machine that I bought new in 1968. When the motor broke I took it in for repair and he said it could not be repaired. Now I wish I would have searched on line for a motor. Too late now. I loved that machine.
