Have to ask

I am not familer with the newer Singers but the older ones built before 1970,are real work horses , almost all the older machines seam to be built better than the newer ones, I have an Elna frome the late 50's that is fantastic, all metal,I have used it for quilts (cotton) heavy canves, repairing mens denim jeans, and repaired a sheer drape that became damaged, and she is quiet to.

I love love love the vintage Singers! What everyone said! They are my go to machines. I piece on one and quilt on another. I still use my Janome's but more for embrodiery and zigzag stuff. You just can't beat a old Singer!

I just love older machines, the look, the stitch quality, just the simplicity of them. I also wonder who sewed on them and did they love it as much as me?? What things did they create? They are like a mystery and oh, I wish they could talk!!!!!
