I owned a Kenmore just like this and GAVE it away a few years ago when I bought my Janome. I wish I had held on to it.

Great post, KenmoreRulesAll. I never tire of hearing stories about how people came to love Singers and, of course, I love the photos that accompany the stories.

I've been thinking about the foot pedal. Guess I'll switch it with another and find out. Thanks.
