    My mother-in-law had given me a Singer machine just like this one and believe me, it is a wonderful machine. Sometimes I wish I still had it. Very easy to use.

    I think I'll name it after my grandma too, in honor of her. 1963 was the year I was born...so that's extra special for me.
    My oldest daughter was born in 1963. Her birthday is on the 10 of this month (10-10-63) I bought a 404 in 62 to sew my layette. I used the pattern my mom used for my baby sister's layette in 1953.

    That's the type of machine I learned to sew on.
