I find it ironic that my mom gave away her beloved Singer 66, because it was so old fashioned and I was no longer at home to use it and therefore, I didn't want it. She then replaced it with an old, thrift store Necchi (I wish I knew the model) and later, tried to give that to me too. Of course, I wouldn't take it. "Pffffttt! Who wants a Necchi?"
Now, as a collector, I would give my eye teeth for either of these machines today. I wish my mom was still here so we could share a good laugh about that story. Naturally, I would have to admit that she was right all along.
