I see these quite often for sale and wonder why. I think I may even have one, guess I need to look.

If they run right, people seem to really like those 700-series machines. But they are not the toughest things Singer ever built, hehe. I had never seen a free arm like that before I Googled it.

Touch and Sews are also called Touch and Throws or Sew and Throws. There's not really a high regard for them. But, if you like it and it sews well for you, that's all that matters. When this machine breaks, throw it out. I say that about few machines. Parts are plastic, not easily fixable, and - IMHO - not worth fixing. But in the meantime, maybe you can get lots of good sewing out of her. |
It looks like it's in great shape.

Well, they get a bad rap these days but I love mine. I've had it for more than 30 years and have made a lot of clothing on it, including a man's suit, countless other household items--slipcovers, pillow covers, and for the last three years, since I began quilting, have pieced all the quilts I've made on it. Never had any trouble with it until about a year ago when a gear wore out and had to be replaced. It was a gift from my DH so I'd never get rid of it. But more than that, I use it every day! Even though I now have 3 other machines.
