I'm using a 1975 Singer Stylist Model 774. I've made clothes, bags, tents, upholstered cushions for a 25 ft and a 30 ft sailboat & new cushions for our Heywood Wakefield Ashcraft set in the breezeway, my sister's couch and chair and a couple dozen pillow covers. The darn thing just won't wear out. I had it cleaned and lubed for its 30 yr anniversary.
My sister just bought her daughter a Singer 3/4 size from Sears (pink). I tried it out. Sweet, it's so smooth and quiet.
Good Luck on the hunt. I don't know what I'd do if I had to replace my Singer. I know there's got to be someone here with a newer machine than mine. |
