I have a featherweight, a White machine (think they were made by Singer) which is a workhorse and now I have just purchased a beautiful Singer 66 red eye through Ebay from Canada. Waiting for a belt to arrive for it. I have two other machines in the attic which are both broken. One is a Brother and the other a Kenmore. I doubt I will ever get them fixed because I love my vintage machines so much. They sew better than the other two.
If the price is right, don't hesitate. To me, they are worth their weight in gold, which by the way is 11 lbs. LOL

We're both so tight we squeak when we walk, so we don't spend money foolishly. Is equating fishing poles and sewing machines a fair comparison?
