I know about the 774!! I have one that I bought in 1975 and I still have it. I'm very nostalgic about it because I used to sew clothing for myself and my kids on it. I also sewed my first quilt on it back in the early '80's.

It is called a "Stylist". Models 774 and 734 are the same except the 774 has the hinged bed for free arm sewing. It makes a great button-hole. When I bought it I took a class at the Singer store to learn how to use it and I was taught how to make the buttonholes during that class. I'm so glad that I did because I had never made a buttonhole before and found it to be easy and sort of fun using this machine.
