Wow! Now I really feel bad. . . . :oops: I have an old Singer sitting on a high shelf in the garage. All sad and forlorn. . . . . getting dusty, not loved, just patiently sitting there, waiting for me to love it. I'm going to take it down and see what's up with it. Someone, I don't even know who, gave it to me a hundred years ago, and I just never did anything with it. Ladies, thank you for the love stories, I just might have my own dream machine waiting to be loved. I don't know a thing about it, only it's old, black with Singer decals and it has a plug. :roll: :roll: :-( :-(
