Mornigstar....Flea markets are great fun and you never know what you’ll come home with. So awesome your husband was able to take the little sewing machine apart and get it running again. I bet that it looks really cute on the shelf.
Karen....I had no idea Singer sold all that other stuff. I bought my 636 at the Mayfair Shopping Center in Wauwatosa, WI., from either Marshall Fields or Gimbels. It was probably 1968, unfortunately I don’t recall the price.
I did find the circular stitcher attachment that was a big selling point when I bought the Singer, but never even took it out of the box. Another biggie was the 636 has 7 built-in stitch patterns. So funny, I was looking at a Bernina the other day that had so many stitch patterns they gave you a stitch sheet, instead of showing them in the lid.
I’m surprised that the plastic on my machine housing has not yellowed, and the cord is still supple. I’m kind of excited to see if she’ll run after I give her a good once over.
