I started with two treadle sewing machines that double as bedside tables. My sister gave me a Singer hand crank machine. Several years ago my husband gave me a Featherweight. If you follow Bonnie Hunter’s blog then you have seen her coveted sewing machine collection. Ebay can be a dangerous thing if you LOVE sewing machines.
I keep saying “this is it, no more”, but I think I’m lying to myself. I have a 1941 Singer 221 Featherweight, a 1951 Singer 301a Slant Needle Longbed, a 1958 Singer 404 Slant Needle, and a 1969 Singer 237 Fashion Mate. I guess old Singer sewing machines make my stitches sing (chortle chortle). Not to mention two treadles, one hand crank, and then on to my love of Baby Locks…….

Do you sew with any of these machines? How do you display them?

I sew on the four in the pictures. I just got the 1958 Singer 404 back from my sewing machine guy today. It came from South Dakota and looked like it had sat in an attic for forty years. I just got the Singer 301a yesterday and it sews like a dream. I love the way the old machines sew, the stitches are perfect!
