[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 403054, member: 84"] I have mother in law's ancient old Singer..........and I will NOT part with it. In jr high I flunked home Easy Child because I trashed every sewing machine I sat down at. I have no clue......I just seemed to be gifted that way. lol But mother in law gave me her machine.....with all the original stuff/parts and handbook.........and well I've made lots of stuff with it over the years. And I figure if I couldn't kill it, it's one heckova machine. lol About 7 yrs ago I bought a brand new Brothers (I think that's the brand) from walmart. It reminded me of ones in jr high. I couldn't even load the bobbin........easy child couldn't figure out how to load the bobbin........Nichole couldn't figure out how to load the bobbin.......this WITH the handbook...........ugh However, I will say that this was like 3 months post Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) so was probably due to my scrambled brains more than the machine itself. But I packed it up back in it's box intending someday to pull it out and give it another go.................. Only it sat there for 7 yrs in the closet. I pulled out mother in law's machine when something needed sewn. It became Nichole's xmas gift this year. She's planning on taking sewing lessons at JoAnn's too. :rofl: [/QUOTE]
