I had an aqua (blue green) Singer - it didn't work well, so I took it to a shop to be fixed and given to charity - wonder if it did get passed on? I had not idea that it was 'something special'
My Mom had some machines that 'got away' from me. I didn't know where to put them at the time - and some I knew needed fixing and didn't know if they could be repaired. And some I was just plain dumb about.
It's not really one I let get away. It's one that I only recently wish I had had enough wisdom to keep track of so many years ago! In the 50s and 60s my mom sewed many of my outfits on a beautiful blue sewing machine that I swear said 'Compaq' on it. She has no idea whatever happened to it and neither do I. Does anyone else remember such a machine? Or is my memory faulty?
