Hello
Hello,
First of all I would like to thank you for welcoming me to your forum.
My name is Thierry, I live in France near Paris for a small part of the year and the rest in the south of the country, near the Mediterranean.
It was while looking for a sewing machine like the one my mother had in the 70s that I became interested in Singers. I first acquired a 197B that I restarted after almost completely disassembling it to clean it of its old grease and dry oils, then abundantly oiled and reassembled it. Browsing the web to gather some information, I found a magnificent 411 G that had all its accessories. I gave it the same treatment as the first one. Given the complexity of this machine for a novice using the many settings, always looking for information, I found a magnificent 191B that I quickly adopted. This one having been wonderfully maintained by a goldsmith of haute couture was quickly placed near its cousins.
Thanks to these first machines and my investigations on the net, I was able to determine that the model that my mother had must have been a 237. I remember a simple machine that had the Zig-zag. I am therefore looking for a beautiful 237 in a wooden base with a lid, as it is in my memory. This will be the opportunity for me to make a post on this subject.
Best regards,
Thierry
