Thank you for the advice. Funny, when I first pulled up a picture of one of the vintage Singers - my heart sank and I thought - oh my gosh!!! How could that still sew?!!! I am only accustomed to seeing today's modern, computerized machines. As I read more, look more - these are looking more attractive. I see that so many people love their Singer 15-91 machines. I think the harp space seems a little larger.
So didn't see myself going "backwards" as opposed to more modern when it came to sewing machines!! But now I am starting to think - hmmm...I should keep my eyes open, and perhaps one of these is in my future!
