A Singer 301a! I would love it to be a black long bed. Also a pink Atlas. And a 222. But if none of those happen, I feel blessed to have the vintage machines I do own! I love all of them and use a vintage every day.

on my wish list? one I haven't messed with...
|
I would love a hand crank or when my hubby talks me into spending a weekend at a civil war reenactment
|
Oh my, a wish list? Well all I can think of that I REALLY want is a Necchi BU or Nova and a Singer 301 A. And most of all since I could be considered Vintage, more time to play with the machines I already own.

Black 301 either long or short bed.
Bernina 830 Another Featherweight. |

On my wish list is an aluminium Singer 201K. I would love a 301 but we don't have them here in the UK.
I hope you find what you are looking for soon. Clare |

My wish list would include a new Brother and more FW's to cozy up to the 5 (and a 301) that I have. My hubby says buy as many as you want - but where to put them?

I'd like a Featherweight cabinet and a 222 Featherweight. Both are practically non existent in this part of Ontario. I've seen a couple for sale on Kijiji at very high prices so both are likely to stay on my wish list.

Shelbie I like your wish list...mine would be the same...I would even settle for a cheap 221. Not sure if that exists.

I do all my sewing on vintage machines, and I have a nice collection. Among them: 2 Singer 301s that I use often, Singer 401, Singer 500, 2 Singer 221 Featherweights, 2 Singer 201s, Singer 15-91, Singer 99, Singer 127 1906 Treadle, New Home 1912 Treadle, two Model 15 clones, Elna Grasshopper, another Elna, Pfaff 1171, Pfaff 130, Bernina 1040 (?), 2 Necchi Super Novas. Some I bought, some I was given, some I took in as trade (I am a certified sewing machine mechanic), some I resurrected from the dead, some were given to me because I make many quilts for homeless families and teach others to do the same. I use all of them, giving each it's turn. I maintain all of them and they are well cared for.
Before I was forced into an early retirement by the economy, I also got many of the "fiddlies" or attachments that go with them. One thing I do not have and would like, but isn't in the budget now, is a "Penguin" walking foot. That's the original black walking foot that goes with the early short-shank machines. Cricket |
