I am in too....I am NEW to sewing also

stafl- I have the same 1950ish Singer!! It was my Mamaw's ans my dad had it in his basement and he handed it down to me!

AND my DH bought me a Singer just about 3 months ago.
We got it at Sears ( one of the ones "designed for Sears exlusively) We paid $229 for it=)

It sews everything!!!! I don't dislike it yet but I am sure as I get more "experienced" that will change :
Tis good though!
