I must say it has been a good friend to me since 1984. It is a Singer and was one of the first electronic ones on the market.
I have looked at "new" machines, but the ones that compare to mine are so expensive.
It looks like I will be hanging up my quilting. Getting old is not for the faint at heart!
I have two Singers....bought both within the last five years....each one was less than $175 and I love them. If it's between sewing on a "fewer do-hickies" machine and not sewing at all........well.............Look into your heart. Are you REALLY finished with quilting????Don't put high priced obstacles in your way, my lovely friend! and YES!! Yardsales NOW!!!! They are WAITING for you! Sigh...............Hugs..............
