I blame all you lot out there. I had never considered buying a vintage machine but over the last few weeks I have been making a replacement seat cover in canvas for my son’s fishing chair, adding some webbing straps to his rucksack and reupholstering 6 dining room chairs. My Brother innovis1250 has managed (just about) but then I started reading some of your posts about the capabilities of the old Singers.
@Manuela I read about your 201 and when I got onto the site of Sewalot it made me realise that I really needed one.
Let me introduce you to my new little lady. One careful owner from new, all her bits and pieces intact (more than I can say about myself), even the keys for her case. When I found out she was a 1954 model just like me, it seems we were made for each other and at £40, a bargain.
