Too late to edit my earlier so thinking the electric mostly non-working Singer might have been a Touch 'N' Throw because my mom bought it in the early 70s. My grandmother had a portable plastic Singer when she died that I would have taken but would have needed to take it on a plane to get it home so it stayed at her house. I had a mostly plastic 25 yr old Singer, a 6215, that I got when DH & I married but gave it away with his blessing last year. I do most of my sewing with my 301 but am going to start using my FW for some piecing. My DD has a vintge machine, a Singer 362, that she mostly uses but I hate so bought another 301 for her to use and will rehome the 362. Truthfully, I bought the 362 because it came with a complete box of Singer accessories and seller only wanted $20.
