Singer were first using electric motors on their machines in 1898. Billy

Any one know of the New Seamstress machines? I found one at a antique store this weekend. They wanted $150 and it had attachments, but I am not sure they are all there. Very nice looking machine. Thanks Pat

Singer with a coffin lid-wanted $80 for it and I passed for a few reasons. One was no room in the car.

My electroninc machine just quit working his afternoon. The power just went out. So I am on my FW and enjoying the stitching. And if there is a problem, I can fix it. I don't dare get into the electronic machine!

I have to laugh when I wonder what my mother would say if she saw me now! I am sure she'd think I am crazy!

I removed my Domestic from its cabinet and put it and the coffin lid and 3 drawers in the back seat. Then put the cabinet on the front passenger seat of my Jeep Wrangler, strapped it in with the seat belt and went home with it.
