This is kind of a long story, but you might enjoy it. I was out one day scouting out a thrift store when I came across this Singer 328k. It was in a portable case but what struck me was how clean it was. It was marked $49.95. Now I have to admit that I was tempted, but I didn't need it so I passed. Some time later, maybe as long as a month or two, I found myself back in the same store and it was still there! The price had been slashed in half, then in half again so this time it was $9.99! So long story short, it ended up in my car. I "just happened to have" a Singer sewing cabinet sitting there empty and it fits in perfectly. I felt like I "saved" the poor thing and I'm very pleased to report that it sews beautifully. I found an on-line manual and the feet and other accessories that I have laying around from another old Singer also fit this one. :-)

I'm sure that sewing machine doesn't feel homeless anymore. Take good cared of her! Looks like you've got the perfect room for her, too! Enjoy!

No, that is a painting of me done by my grandmother when I was about 3 years old! |
Beautiful machine. Great deal.

I have I think it is a 327. It doesn't have the needle position option, but it is a workhorse and I've had it since 1965 with no repairs and sporadic cleaning.
|
I have a Singer 328K exactly like yours, bought it new in Nov. 1963. I still have it and it still sews like new.
|
What a fantastic find and your attic room is gorgeous. Good for you.
|
It was meant to be yours. Love your penny rugs too.
