My mom had an antique Singer that we called "The Antichrist". It was grouchy, but I so wish I had it now. I bet serviced properly it would be a dandy machine. That thing survived 4 kids abusing it.. no wonder it had issues...lol
I have a 33 yr old Kenmore (bought it new) and that thing has logged more miles then the Starship Enterprise. It's sewn everything from nursery curtains to horse blankets. I used to joke and say you could sew through beer cans with it. It survived my house fire 8 years ago too - so we are old friends from wayyyy back. I have a fancy Bernina now, but my Kenmore is always in reach.
