When I was 8 years old my mother taught me to sew on an old Singer that she had, don't know the model. Then when I was 19 I bought a Sears Kenmore that I still have and use frequently to this day. I'll never get rid of that machine, I love it dearly. It helped put clothes on my children when we were financially strapped and was there when I made my first quilt. It still does mending and rag quilts and anything ele I ask it to do. It's a Champ!

I learned to sew on my mom's Singer, circa 1946, then got my first second-hand Singer with cams when I went to college in 1970. I used that machine to death until 1993 when I bought my dear Pfaff 1470, which I still use.

Mine was a Kenmore. I still have her and even though I have a Baby Lock, I still use her for quilting. I left her at our church quilting room and I'm still having withdrawal from not having her on my table to use. I don't think I'll ever get rid of her, she's part of my family.

I was 14 and bought a Sears Kenmore out of the catelog. Still have it and use it. That was 41 years ago.

Hi Mine was a Singer too. I was 23, I made dinosaurs with it. they were 27 inches tall. I had that machine till just a few years ago, when my stepson wanted me to sew on a patch. Well I tried with my machine and it broke it. I was so sad..

My first machine was a Brother, I was about 10 don't remember the model
but then my Dad saw I was serious with sewing and got me
a Singer Touch & Sew. Sewed on that till I got married and
my husband bought me a Viking, which I sewed till they couldn't
fix it anymore. Now I have a Bernina #155 which I love.
"Sew", I have been sewing for 48 years, starting quilting in
1980.

I sewed on my Mom's Singer treadle machine when I was 6 yrs old. I had to sew my own clothes with it. It was so fun to race the treadle and was good exersize while sewing. After I got married I purchased a Viking sewing machine that was stolen from my car. I replaced it with Simplisty and that didn't last long as it broke down. I purchased a Babylock and that is the one I sewed on for many years until this year when I hit a pin and it recked the machine. I only have my old Singer 66 industrial sewer that works and I purchased it at The Good Will. I am getting a new Singer when I get the money put together.

I was around 20 yrs. old. It was a Japenese version of the singer and I got it as a promotion when I got my first washing machine. Name of it was Modern Age !!!!
I did sew when I was younger and used my mother's treadle machine.

My first machine was a Singer (don't know the model). It was a gift from my husband-to-be in the early 60's...I was 20 years old.

My first machine was a used Singer and I was just newly married and 20 years old..didnt know how to sew but really wanted to learn...we had refund money back from our taxes the first year we were married and I bought the sewing machine and hubby bought a rifle...seemed fair to me...
