Singer Sewing Machine - Mechanical - Model 7442 Review

I loved the Singer machine I grew up with. It had all metal parts and went through a flood where the whole machine was covered in mud, even the parts inside.  My uncle cleaned it and it is still working 30 years later.

When I left home my mom bought me a new Singer machine.  It worked okay, but there were many plastic pieces.

After awhile, I had problems.  I could not figure out how to keep it from getting plugged up with thread.

I bought another machine that had all metal part.  It works much better than my Singer, which I still have.  Just wish the metal parts would come back.
