My hubby and I have a deal, I stay out of his garage and he stays out of my sewing room :roll:
I have a 1951 singer in cabinet
a Janome 9500
a Janome Platinum
a Singer serger almost on it last leg, (dh said he would buy me a new one for Christmas if I want) not sure if I am ready to give up on this one
Future plans: a 301 Singer and a little featherweight just because they are adorableand a real work horse. And last but not least, another treadle, oh gosh I sold mine when we moved and so sorry!
what is dh? I keep seeing that? I love my featherweights and I love my 301. The 301A too, they are just as good a work horse as the 401, and so on, I think the metal construction is just plain solid. You can't beat good old American engineering and dexterity. I just finished a 1926 Singer 66 that had been adapted with a motor and pedal and it is a solid champ, a while back I completely refurbished a 1951 Singer 99 also a solid champ. You guys should see my living and dining room. Well we never go in there, not really, unless a rare occasion for company which isn't that often, so I use those two rooms to work in. What can I say....talk about addictions...I LOVE working on these machines as well as working WITH them.
