Ha ha, me too!
What model number is it? Mine is a 1774, it came with a little table unit, so it's not really the portale kind. I use that one for most of my sewing, really, but lately I've been sewing at my boyfirend's place and I use his mothers old Singer Genie 354. It's decent, does a couple of different zig-zag stitches, but nothing compared to my other one I have at home. I've mentionned before that there was some water damage in my basement a couple of weeks back and it ruined my 1949 featherweight (GRRRRRR) I SHOULD come out on top with the insurance claim and buy something decent, like possibly something
not older that I am, lol!
