My Singer 237 is on the way!
« on: August 04, 2020, 07:50:31 AM »
I often cannot help myself when I see a nice pristine well kept machine.
So I bought a Singer 237 and eagerly await its arrival in about a weeks time.
The main body and working parts are all metal but Singer started to introduce plastic at this stage.
No big deal as the plastic parts are the sort that do not wear out... ie...gear teeth.
I have been very much inspired by Manuella's creations and skill in using basic machines.
My ethos is...if she can do that on simple machines using skill!! Then I can at least have a bash at doing the same.
I love old machines. ( and trying to be skillful)
They all have stories to tell but keep quiet about them.
I have watched a vid on how somebody produced a perfect button hole using this model of machine.
I am very impressed.
Does anyone else on the forum own and use this model please?
I will be interested to know your views on it.
Many thanks for checking me out.

Harbouring resentment is like swallowing poison and waiting for the other person to die!
