Well, well, maybe she should get this mashine to the TV Auction (I forget the name of the program)
I will follow up on the website you gave, Sew a lot.com, just for kicks.
I have a Singer Sewing mashine that was my Grandmas. She was a professional seamstress . I guess I have her genes inherited, as my Mother never sewed.
That mashine is 111 years old ,yes ,onehundred and eleven. And gess what, its not rusty, works perfectly well and is in top shape. now what do you think I can get for that???
Maybe I should contact Singer Co. . Nobody in my family sewes and I rather sell it than have it rust to death. Any offers???

Sad but it is true with the sewing machines. They are not an investment they are something you want to love and cherish.

People use to sew almost everything. Not much store bought.
Grandma, had a woman that came around once a year, , she would stay at the house for a week or however long. She would sew all their clothes for the year.
Then grandma would take the old clothes, like suit coats ,and pants and make wool or cotton quilt tops from them, tied them. and called the comforters.
At home there were several old sewing machines that I assumed were worn out. Altho the way them made them back, a century ago, I wondered if they ever wore out.
Mom's mom was a seamtress, made the clothes herself.
I quess I take after the quilting grandma. Altho I use to sew for the kids, I haven't in years.
