my first "grownup" machine was bought for me by hubby, on the occasion of the birth of our first child--a daughter. we were too poor for him to buy roses, because they would die too quickly. so, he bought a "sew-mor" (made by white) from a salesman who gave him an end of year deal. he paid for it with time payments. he's still "paying", because i'm still sewing! i still have it--it's only trip to the shop was when hubby decided to use it to repair the canvas on a tent trailer when i wasn't home to object...
