Modern Sewing Machines Unattractive
Does anyone else think that modern sewing machines and cabinets so ugly or utilitarian?
I have my eye on a Singer Featherweight AND I have been considering getting a treadle machine to have in the sitting room. A big attraction is they are so pretty as well as being useful. My current Bernina looks like white and red box, not something I want on display in the sitting room.
My grandmother had her treadle sewing machine in her bedroom. Shiny and black with gold roses and a beautiful cabinet with drawers full of wonderful things. My mother had her less than beautiful electric sewing machine in the spare room but when it wasn’t in use (and interfering with the television!) it folded down in elegant table on tapered legs.
When I am ready to upgrade the Bernina, I am going to take it apart and see if I can “pimp my sewing machine”. Has anyone “customised” theirs?
