Sewing Machine Musings
For starters, my newest machine is over 30 years old.
But of the ones I have - I am getting fonder and fonder of my Singer 237 Fashionmates. I still have two of the ones I bought.
Besides the basic straight stitch, it has zigzag, three needle positions, feed drop drop, and reverse. That's about it for "fancy" on that machine. The only special foot I have for it is the zipper foot.
It's a plain jane tan machine- but I am starting to like the simplicity of her operation more and more.
One can learn about all one needs to know about operating it in less than half an hour. It's comparatively hard to mess it up by either ignorance or carelessness.
At attribute that can either be a plus or minus - is it's weight. It does not hop around on the table. It is portable, but not for a weakling.
