I assume it's the same thing with Singer. All sewing machines are Singers.
Aspirin was Bayer's trade name. It became generic for acetylsalisic acid. Coke came close to becoming generic for cola. Coca-Cola fought it off. One of the last machines I purchased was described as "Singer Capri Aqua Blue Sewing Machine Brother Motor." I agree Singer, for some, has become generic for old sewing machine.
