My first was a Singer but I don't remember the model. I was about 20 or so and wanted to make dresses for my 1st daughter. And I did. I was a sewing fool for a few years and then didn't sew again that much until I decided I wanted to make quilts. That was about 2 years ago. Now I have a Singer C150 Furtura Emboridery/Sewing machine and I just love it!
