Making sense of a vintage Singer
You may have gathered from a previous post that I treat my sewing machine more as a pretty accessory than as a tool! Frankly, I've had so many bad sewing machine experiences, and I love hand sewing so much, that I haven't used my Grandmother's old Singer for about 10 years. I find my mother's machine from th '70s even more terrifying, so it was to the Singer that I turned yesterday...

I used my Grandma's Singer sewing machine, for years, too!
I doubt I made such wonderful things as she did but I used to make all my own clothes when I was very young!
Apparently, my Great Grandma was a very good seamstress.
;-)
Well, it's clearly running in the family!
