Oh man, you are lucky and sush sentimental value!!! My singer is a red eye and my grandma made my dresses on it. The teachers at school used to admire my dresses, close up, my gma sewed like a pro. I was the only gdaughter and I sewed so I told Papa I wanted it, he told me I could have it after he was gone. I waited 12 years to have it. I love it!
