The person working in the store said it came in just on Saturday as a "donation"!
She quoted us what we thought was an absurd price considering it was a "donation" and also the cabinet had a huge gouge in it ...but having spent some time just now looking for even a picture of a green Singer of this type I am wondering if this is an unusual machine????
anyone have any information to offer on small green Singers?
(definitely not a Featherweight and not the same pale green as a FW)
Thanks!

I sewed for years on that machine and loved it but when I retired that one bought a Bernina and enjoy it more. My version of the Singer had only a straight stitch but sewed well. If you want more stitches or needle down (which I consider absolutely essential to a quilter) you may need another machine. I had a featherweight but sold it to another quilter as I like a heavier machine in a steady sturdy case. I use my machine, only the one all the time, and do not do machine quilting except on wall hangings or smaller art quilts. The bed sized I send to a long arm quilter for quilting. Hope this helps.
