Still use (sometimes) the Singer that was my big Christmas surprise in 1966. It was turqoise! And the big feature was it did a zig-zag stitch! I also have the Singer my mother got when she married in 1938. It was used then, she bought it from an acquaintance. One of the dumbest things I've ever done, we were emptying out her house after she passed and I couldn't get it upstairs (in its wooden cabinet) from the basement. I guess I panicked and instead of waiting for someone else to be there and help me, I cut the cords and just brought it up. It's in my living room and eventually I'm going to look into getting it repaired. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
