“Friends, this is Singer #2.”
“Singer #2, I’d like for you to meet my friends.”
Say Hello everyone.
*********************************************************************************************************
I picked up this little looker today after almost a week of sewing withdrawal, due to the untimely demise of my old machine.
After hemming and hawing over which one to get, I finally decided to be loyal to Gram and my Singer.
I’m glad that I did, because I am absolutely…..IN LOVE!
There is a horizontal holder for the thread,
It winds a bobbin at LIGHTENING speed.
LIGHTENING, I tell you.
and the foot doesn’t push down so hard on the feeders so that it jams up, like Gram’s machine did.
No bells and whistles……
It is fabulously simple.
*********************************************************************************************************
Now I know what you are all thinking….
“What a Trollop, moving on so quickly to a new love.”
But I tell you….. I think that I have found THE ONE!
What is your machine of choice?
Would you freak out without it, or am I the only one?

I’ve really only had two machines — both Pfaffs and with more bells and whistles than I really need as a quilter. The one I have now is pretty old — my father gave it to me after my mother died. But it has lots of features that I like: needle down button, needle threader, winds bobbin well, pretty simple to use. I love my 1/4″ piecing foot. And I also love it because it was my mother’s. I know I’ll need a new one someday, so I’m trying to pay attention when people blog about their machines. Sounds like you found the perfect one for you. Enjoy!

Hooray & Congrats on your new machine! I love my first Kenmore which is about 5 years old. Really looking forward to putting the “new” Singer into action though!

Congratulations on your new sewing machine!! I have a Kenmore sewing machine; I bought it the year after we got married so it’s about 11 yrs old now. It’s not the very bottom of the Kenmore line, it’s maybe the 2nd from the bottom, but it’s all I could afford at the time. It does almost everything I need a sewing machine to do including buttonholes. I do wish, looking back, that I’d bought the one which had quilting lines, that would have made some projects easier. But overall I can’t complain! I bought a Kenmore because that’s what brand my mom’s machine is– she bought hers sometime around 1970 and it is still going strong.
I go in sewing spurts…. I’ll go months just knitting away and then catch the sewing bug and sew sew sew for a couple weeks, then back to knitting!! I can tell you, though, that if I *couldn’t* sew because my machine was broken, I’d be freaking out too.

That’s my Bernina. It has a few features I love – but it’s a simple machine. Although, I would love to have the Aurora 400 series someday.
You know, when i’m made of money.
