love the soothing sound and perfect stitch the vintage Singers make. they are built so well & easy to repair if something does go wrong. only machine above the year 1956 is my Bernina (14 yrs), my favorite is the 201, but I have 201,401, 500, 99,15-91, black & tan 221's. yearn for a 222 but just can get
myself to spend that kind of money! DH started cleaning my finds & now services vintage machines for half the Guild.
We haunt the garage sales. now we really need to find a market for all the machines we have acquired ! can't pass by
by the Black Beauties. smitty
