What a shame that the greatest name in sewing completely lost it. Look at general motors today. They used to be General Motors. Shot themselves in the feet. That's why I love 158 series Kenmores, and drive a Nissan.
I really appreciate your pointing out the difference between current gears, etc vs what we find in the classic machines. I may be a simplistic comprehender, but I have so much admiration for the classic features. I figured out a few years ago that I could not save every classic machine I found in thrift stores, but at more than 26 machines that I own, it was time to stop, since every one of them will have to be serviced before I go home .... it was time to stop! I enjoy learning what I actually own ... have never seen this machine, but it is good to know that they are still around.
When you find that you’ve run out of floor space, as I often do, find a local charity that can use the machines and give until you can’t give any more. It’s a win/win situation for all concerned.😎👍

@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 definitely although I probably didn't buy into it as many others did - - I was much too contrary to even bother to fit in.
I didn't know So-Fro Fabrics even had those machines. It looks nice, but I think I'll stick with my Kenmore 158s, instead. Looking at a mauve Kenmore 47 model with its original blonde wood cabinet. Not sure the husband will agree, though. 🤔
I’ll be looking :) Thanks
Thx Randy, I'll jot it down on my list.
😎👍
I just bought one of these and Im in love😊😊❤
They’re practical little machines for sewing just about all your light and medium weight fabrics. 😎👍🏼

They turned Singer over to the bean counters. Didn’t take long to go to zero after that. It’s an all too familiar story lately. Sad.

Grow your own, roll your own, sew your own. Of course we’re talking fabric here, right?

Husbands get in the way of many a brilliant decision. (Some wives also)
Not mine mind you, she’s never wrong.
A new WalMart Singer makes a decent light craft boat anchor, but it’s tough hosing the mud and weeds out of them…
That’s hilarious, but I used a similar Singer back in my boating days.
The reactions I got ranged from stares to smiles. 😎👍🏼
