Oh I'd get the black one they are so much better than the white ones, I have 5 white ones and 4 black ones, hands down the black ones are the best. I bought the white ones before I knew, and I wanted 3 for my Great Nieces and 1 for my GD. I have one for myself but love my lil black beauties best.
Plus the black one is a centennial......the case has it's key and is in great shape and you get the attachments...... :thumbup: :thumbup:
Everything looks good with the white one I guess it should just be what you like best.

QuiltnNan 09-18-2011 05:46 PM

i vote for the white one

susiequilt 09-18-2011 05:47 PM

I'm partial to the shiny black ones!

Charlee 09-18-2011 05:54 PM

Go for the black. More for your money.

I thought I wanted a white FW, but I don't. NOT that I'd pass one up if it was free to me, but I wouldn't spend money on one. Just my opinion, and now that you have that, you should choose the one that YOU want the most!

Great brother you have there!! Does he need another sister???? :lol: ;)

emsgranny 09-18-2011 05:59 PM

would go with the black one - you seem to get alot more for the money - sometimes the attachments are harder to find than the machines!!!

Can I borrow your brother? Mine would never do that for me - ok he must want a quilt made or something lol Are you the baby of the family - just wondering.

annthreecats 09-18-2011 06:00 PM

Get the black one.

Deborah12687 09-18-2011 06:02 PM

I would get the black

ruthie 09-18-2011 06:05 PM

I'm very traditional, I'd go with the black.

cathyvv 09-18-2011 06:12 PM

Can I borrow your brother for my birthday? I have 5 brothers and none of them would do something like this!

I'm not complaining, though, because they are there when I NEED them.

fayzer 09-18-2011 06:22 PM

I vote for the black.

sewwhat85 09-18-2011 06:39 PM

love them both but they are a little high in price i have seen them for less try shopgoodwill.com

Chigger Holler Quilter 09-18-2011 06:53 PM

Either one is a treasure! Too bad I don't have a brother...was blessed with 7, yes seven, sisters! :)

Willa 09-18-2011 08:21 PM

I like the black.

The white one is a real beauty!

Lady Crafter 09-18-2011 08:45 PM

They are BOTH beautiful machines. Go with your heart. I'm jealous. :lol:

maine ladybug 09-18-2011 08:53 PM

I would choose the black one.

irishrose 09-18-2011 10:26 PM

Black! They're prettier and I think they have a better motor.

mamahippychicky 09-19-2011 12:34 AM

Both are beautiful, but I like the black best.

Panchita 09-19-2011 12:46 AM

I vote black!

I was recently chatting with a guy who worked for Singer for over 40 years and he was saying that the black FWs are much better quality than the white ones. I've heard that elsewhere too.

Overall tho you need to choose the one that calls to you...

fabric_fancy 09-19-2011 12:50 AM

white

Thusnelda 09-19-2011 01:32 AM

Lucky you to have such a wonderful and generous brother. Go with your heart and choose the one that "speaks" to you.

heather1949 09-19-2011 01:40 AM

I'd go for the black one if it was my choice...great brother congrats on your gift.

katei 09-19-2011 02:08 AM

My vote is for the black and your brother of course :lol:

Sassylass 09-19-2011 02:33 AM

Black one. :)

BLACK ONE MORE FOR YOUR MONEY

Yooper32 09-19-2011 03:14 AM

I badly want a white one, but not at that price. I would choose the black one.

whinnytoo 09-19-2011 03:24 AM

would your brother like another sister???? lucky you!!

QuiltswithConvicts 09-19-2011 03:58 AM

Black!

darlenedowns 09-19-2011 04:30 AM

whats your decor where you sew
What color stands out the best
actually what normally is your liking white or black
The white is a beautiful machine but as ladies are saying here the black one is more functional.
Hey and price difference Do you really want to cost the person buying this for you 200 more dollars just to have a pretty or functional
Up to you

Deddier 09-19-2011 04:30 AM

Since they were both made in Singer's early days, either one. I like black myself. Singer has been bought out several years ago and it's not like it used to be, stay away from those.

Annie68 09-19-2011 04:39 AM

I have both a white and a black, I would go for the black, the black one is slightly better in performance than the white.

Tudey 09-19-2011 04:40 AM

The white one is more rare.

Highmtn 09-19-2011 04:41 AM

Your brother is INDEED a "darlin'"...lol I'd go for the black one.

AzSailor 09-19-2011 04:48 AM

The black one is a real beauty and has the original key, which I understand is rare. I went and looked at it and ended up bidding on another black one...didn't want to step in on yours..:) I guess I didn't know EBAY had them at, what I think, is a reasonable price. I may finally get one also. My brother just paid me back a loan so, does that justify it??? Now, I'm all excited!!!!

Quilt-Till-U-Wilt 09-19-2011 05:00 AM

I'm partial to black. The decals show up so nicely. That price is good if it's in good condition. You don't find them much cheaper unless they need work.

katsewnsew 09-19-2011 05:08 AM

Tell him you are losing sleep over making a decision. Maybe he will get you both!!
