She is a pretty snazzy lookin' model. You will just love her. Not sure about bobbins, but Billy will know.

She sure is a beaut. Be good to her or she can come live with me.

Just like a puppy, they follow you home, leave a mess behind them, (scraps, threads,) you have to pick up after them, (pins and pieces,) you need to feed them, (oil,) give them love and affection, and protect them, (NO, you may NOT borrow my 201.)

Congratulations mom.

She will be at dealer's probably a week since a tune-up and if necessary re-wiring, were part of the purchase price!

Now for the bad part. She only has a zipper foot and 1 bobbin.
Any suggestions on where to get the rest of her attachments? I'm pretty sure she takes a class 15 bobbin, probably the metal ones, but do they need to be vintage ones or are the new ones ok?
Sorry for the many questions, but I am very excited and don't want to break my new toy!

Beautiful!!! My DDIL just informed me her mother still has her Singer from the 50's or earlier. She no longer sews, is 85 and in waning health, so I expressed a desire to have the machine if it ever leaves that house. Don't know where I will put it but I will find a place....
:roll:

I know how happy you are because I just got one. Now if my mounting hinges to get her in her cabinet would arrive! I'm hoping today is the day LOL
