I had one machine for decades. Decades, as in 30+ years.

Then DH bought me a brand new whistles and bells Bernina. I had to keep the old crotchety but faithful machine.

I was given, as in 'for free,' a Singer 42 cabinet from FreeCycle - with a lovely Pfaff 130 safe inside.

I found an inexpensive, cute, small Singer cabinet - just perfect to display a huge Shamrock plant near a window - with a very nice 15-91 inside.

Four is not dangerously obsessive, is it?

Now the MIL has said she wants me to have her sewing machine. It's a Singer 185K3, green, in a blonde cabinet, that she bought new in the mid-50s. She's already instructing me on "just one drop of oil every time you sew." She sent me the original instruction booklet so I can "study" it

I thanked her, profusely and sincerely.

My name is Caroline94535 and I am not a collector.
