As we sit here blogging in the virtual world, old sewing machines bring us back to our organic-ness. Much as sewing itself does.Jenn at The Little Shop of Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060012386031754169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-84121692035853176402011-09-17T20:58:24.445-06:002011-09-17T20:58:24.445-06:00My mum had a Singer sewing machine so that is what...My mum had a Singer sewing machine so that is what I learned on and when I left home over 20 years ago, one of the first things I did was to buy my own Singer machine. I also have a vintage Singer treadle machines in its original stand that my dad rescued from the dump and restored back to working order.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193446838823679202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-31962055249813119382011-09-16T18:36:39.181-06:002011-09-16T18:36:39.181-06:00I learnt to sew on a Singer machine - it was a gif...I learnt to sew on a Singer machine - it was a gift from my grandmother. My DD also learnt to sew on that same machine. Nanna also gave a Singer machine to my sister and at least one of my nieces sews on that machine. Both Nanna and Mum had singer machines. DD now has a Brother and I have a Janome but I regret giving away my Singer!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-49971756139605168732011-09-16T16:09:26.349-06:002011-09-16T16:09:26.349-06:00I too learned to sew on a Singer.

When I got my first machine of my own as a high school graduation present it was a Singer. When I was in my early 30's my step dad found a box in the basement that was kind of a wreck and he gave it to me if I wanted to clean it up. A Feather Weight, can you belive it. I'm now in my 60's and I still use it on a regular basis. Wonderful machine.<br />Selinatink's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446955920191946432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-5004935051518970332011-09-16T06:51:18.223-06:002011-09-16T06:51:18.223-06:00Thanks for the link.

Then when I was a big grown up in 1968 (ha!) she gave me a Singer Featherweight to take with me to college. It is still my back-up sewing machine and I take it with me to sewing retreats just in case my Bernina goes into a swoon. There are some retreats when it's the only machine I take. It's my little workhorse and I love it.pcflamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206688121231793996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-42441562377083764712011-09-16T06:18:01.160-06:002011-09-16T06:18:01.160-06:00thanks SO much meg!!!

...How COOL! I can't wait to see the new Singer!<br /><br />I love old machines also. I use a late 1800's treadle, it's a White. I also have an early 1900's White electric that I use.<br /><br />Both are great machines. Thanks for the headsup on the Singer.Dorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161301722715338900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-42131188666077184452011-09-16T04:47:28.456-06:002011-09-16T04:47:28.456-06:00I too am a Singer girl.

We now have the pleasure of owning my husbands grandmother's antique treadle Singer complete with wooden cabinet and cast iron base. Still works if I could figure out the rythm! I recently found a 1965 aqua blue Singer for $10 at a local thrift store and now have it proudly displayed in my living room. I learned to sew on and continue to sew on a Singer. I have a Brother machine for embroidery but for my quilting and sewing, it's my Singer all the way. Oh yeah, my mother-in-law has a Singer that her father bought used for her mother back in the 40's...still sews like it's brand new!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528940511550463927.post-10594971255816938512011-09-16T00:46:31.840-06:002011-09-16T00:46:31.840-06:00I learned to sew on my Mom's Singer when I was...I learned to sew on my Mom's Singer when I was very little, in the 70's. And when I had a job that I received a Christmas bonus, what did I buy? A Singer. I now own a quilt shop and I have that same machine, 20 years old, in my shop. I love to show people that you don't need to spend a lot of money to quilt with a high end machine. It has always been my most reliable sewing machine, and I love it :)katie jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575020391614298048noreply@blogger.com
