Thanks for the welcomes! I think I would like a pretty machine, i.e., blue, pink, or turquoise, or another nice color. I have now a Pfaff 1475 CD as original owner and a Featherweight. Just would like something "pretty" to sew with. I will look around for the suggested Singers for heavy duty sewing and see if I can find one. Maybe just get it painted! Well, maybe when I win the lottery. Lol!
Any other suggestions welcome! Haven't seen too many pink machines around. Just a Brother which was in poor condition. Kinda like the Blue Morse Photomatic's models. But not too sure if they sew well and can be used for FMQ.
I was browsing the Vintage Japenese postings and seeing what others have. I sure wished I would of been paying more attention to sewing machines in the late 60's and 70's! I would of had a nice pretty one already! Oh well, hindsight......... 😀

welcome from se TX -- I have a 1978 Kenmore with a high shank and the left needle position and using the narrow straight stitch foot (which gives a 1/4 inch seam guide), I piece on this machine!!

I am also new to the board. I have sewn pretty much all my life ( since age 8) and have gotten into quilting since retirement. I joined a very relaxed sewing club where we get together and work on whatever we want, whenever we want. It has become my favorite social activity.
