Beautiful machine, I like it.

There are several machines living with us that were bought simply because they spoke to us.
That blue one speaks to me and it's already yours.

Looks like it is in great shape, good for you. People are always complaining about how many sewing machines we have like it is any of their business. Go figure!

Our fascination and love for old sewing machines is no different than guys like Jay Leno who collect vintage cars. Only thing is ours cost a lot less. I've found that if I explain to my friends that the Morse/Singer301A/Featherweight or whatever is simply my version of a 56 Chevy or 68 Mustang, they understand immediately.

Great color! When people ask me why I need another sewing machine, I just smile. Some questions don't require answers. Enjoy your new machine.

Love the blue factor, I just bought home a Singer 338, think the same as yours here or is it a 348? DH decided I needed to go ahead and get mine for I said I dont have this colour yet and I really like it. It has the most awesome stitch, even nicer then my Elna Pro Quilting Queen, we wont even talk about the price difference! Enjoy her as i am Ophelia, yes weird names for me!
