Singer Sewing Machine Review

          I have an antique Singer sewing machine - treddle style - from1923! I wouldn't take anything in the world for it! I am scared to death of modern machines...they move too fast for me, but because it's a treddle - I can control the speed, and feel much more comfortable using it.

          I'm sure most people will disagree with me on this because people nowadays seem to value expediancy in all things, but I prefer the quality and safety of an older machine. When I'm not using my old Singer, I simply sew by hand. In my opinion there is nothing like old world craftsmanship - that goes for both my work, and my machine.

           On bigger projects I rely heavily on my Singer. Old though it may be, it still saves me a lot of time! Being able to control the speed makes my work look better too, but most of all I value the sense of security it gives me knowing I can control the speed with my foot. I've seen my mother sew her finger so many times on newer machines, I would simply never have one.

          Sure, upkeep may eventually be a problem. I know parts do wear out sooner or later, and may be hard, or even impossible to replace, but until then, I will swear by my old 1923 Singer! I guess I've just been lucky so far ( knock on the wooden tabletop of my old tried and true Singer).
