M2P- thank you!
I am having a great time finding out the story behind my machine. I am going to write the lady who gave it to me a little thank-you note and see if I can get the name of the original owner and I will write up a little story to stay with the machine.
katie- I pm'd you.
qb12- My case is not in the best shape. The veneer on the top needs to be replaced. It is nice and sturdy, though, and has pretty curved legs, so eventually I will repair it. I am like you and will be happy to have it just to sew with. When my "honeymoon period" ends with my new Bernina. Heehee!
I don't know which machine to play with today. I run upstairs and sew some blocks, out to the garage to look at the Singer, then here to see if I have any new info. LOL! I am like a chicken with my head cut off!
