This was my first machine which I bought new in 1961, when my first daughter was born, she has made baby clothes, school clothes, banduniforms, cheerleader suits, prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses, just to name a few. Still have her along with my Babylock Ellisomo, featherweight, Bernina, and my mother's Singer treadle. I have to say, she has more wear than all the rest!!! She's a keeper!!!!! :thumbup:
