Today I went into the thrift store looking for jewelry and came out with a diamond of a sewing machine. They had a vintage 1954 Singer (15-91). I paid a hundred. I looked it up on Ebay, and they go for about $350. So I posted a picture to my sewing group, asking $350 with a check or pp transfer w/o fees, and I would pay the $40 shipping. One of my friends asked me to do a test stitch out to see if it works.
Oh boy, does it ever! I wanna keep it now!!! My husband is going to have a cow because I haven't sewn in two years. And I have 1 sewing machine, 1 embroidery machine, and 3 sergers. It has all metal parts, and it will only cost me about $80 to get it tuned up.
(file this away in the back of your head, old Singer machines that are a featherweight go for a lot. Especially if you have everything. These old machines are made with metal parts, which is why they still work.)
