What a beauty. I love Singer machines. When I was in my early 20's I traded in my grandmother's portable Singer. I don't know what model it was, but I wanted a new machine that would zigzag and do fancier stitches. What a mistake that was! The machine I bought was a piece of junk...even though it was new. I am kicking myself for being so foolish. Of course, hindsight is 20/20. That was almost 45 years ago. It has never ceased to amaze me how much we learn as years go by. LOL
