I'm doing my best not to "collect" ANYTHING else (I make ceramic dolls, collect Charles Blackshear statues, African masks & carvings, heart-shaped rocks from the seashore, and make quilts! ENOUGH ALREADY!) HOWEVER, I wish I still had my grandmother's singer...just to feel her presence and recall making a seer sucker suit, making button holes, etc. She taught me to sew on a Singer and because she taught Home Economics I had to rip out an entire seam if the seam veered even the least bit! NOW you tell me the Singers were the easiest to sew perfect straight seams!!! Where were you when I needed you?!

Has anyone bought old machines at Goodwill or other thrift stores? Any luck?
