I was wishing for another machine beat up by grandma. All I got was a Singer 66 in pristine condition and a Singer 503 with a rotted powdery bobbin winder tire that caused it not to turn. I cleaned up the 503 and it is a fine machine. It needs somebody to love it or beat it up. Maybe me for a while. I have been thinking about refashioning some sweat pants for the DGDs. I'm sure a serger would be better but those fall into the category of something to hit with a sledgehammer or throw off tall buildings.... The red eye is beautiful and cleaned up fine - looks very nice... It just doesn't have any personality IMHO. But then the next person might really thin that one is the coolest thing they have ever used...
