I learned to sew on a Singer treadle and the my grandmothers Singer 201. Sewed on that till I got engaged and bought a Pfaff 1221. Sewed on that for 30 years then got a Janome 4800. Since then I've gathered off Kijiji 4 more 1221's , several FW 221& 222's and Singer 99(3) and some others.
What do I do on them.... straight stitch, zigzag and buttonholes. But prefer the Singer buttonholer to do those.
I just learn my machine to get 1/4" seam and don't really use any of the bells and whistles.
Ain't life grand!
