I just gave my 23 y.o. DGD my Singer 401A. Recently serviced and good to go!

She seemed to be happy to get it. I told her many people considered it to be one of the 'better' Singers made. I hope I told her the truth!

I love her dearly, but not enough to give her the Necchi BU or the Bernina 530-2.
And I like my Singer 237 (a plain jane zigzag) better than the 401A

Am I weird or what?

I bought my 401A in 1958 and she has been my right hand for all these years. I have bought other machines but still do most of my sewing on the 401A and it still runs like a dream. You are a good Grandma.

Nope...just being a good grandma! You realize it's our duty to addict the next generation, right?

I even told her she can come 'shopping' in my stash!

LOL...I love her but not enough to give her my Bernina or Necchi...I'm still laughing!!!!

But the 401 ain't to shabby.

I ain't givin my 401A to nobody ..... not even my wife!

Oh and if you ask her she'll say the same thing .... about me. LOL

Glad to see there are folks out there who LOVE their 401A's. I used to say that if the house caught fire, that would be one of the first things to be rescued.

I hope she knows the treasure she is getting!

You are a good gramma. Giving her a sewing machine and letting her shop from your stash too. Way to go, gramma.

That one is still on my wish list. I did learn to sew on a 401; it's a keeper.
