Welcome from the Pacific NW. I bought one of those machines about 20 years ago for my sister's daughter. It's still being used regularly. I got mine from the local sewing machine store. You might check the stores in your area.

Welcome from Ireland

this is not an "older" machine ... every year Singer comes out with a new model that they put on sale in this manner.
Thanx for your help. |

I'm ready for a new one, and inquired at Hancocks today (in Iowa) and was told they may not be doing it anymore. That the company that was, has gone out of business. I found this website trying to do a search on line to find them.
For my personal use, I don't want anything fancy, just forward, back, zigzag, a few decorative stitches (I'm a quilter and sew a LOT!!!) Mine have NEVER been in for repair or service, just maintainted according to book instructions. One of the models (bought about 10 years ago) the presser foot is a little wobbly from side to side. ONLY complaint. I truly hope I can find another one!!! I'm almost 70 now. I think I'm good to wear one, maybe two more out!!! The only correspondence I've had with the company occurred when I didn't get all the parts with the machine, and I received them VERY promptly .... can you tell I REALLLLLLLY like them???? |
