I's my only machine & a workhorse. Well, I do have a babylock.

Singer 403 Slantomatic. I have all the bits pcs cams manual, everything. A couple of fancy gadget feet that I never have fiddled with. One is supposed to be a ruffler.

Is that too young for this club? :mrgreen:

That Universal is just adorable.
At our quilt show last year an 18 year old got a beautiful hand crank for her graduation gift. She walked past all the computerized machines and headed to the "Feathers & Cranks" booth. She said she didn't like the electric machines because she couldn't control the speed to her liking. So no your not to young for a vintage machine.
