I have a friend who has her mother's machine and nice new one - which one does she use the most? - Her mother's. The new one only gets used when she needs/wants some special thing it has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563954452896474448.post-62315527806640054892015-10-30T23:00:56.409+00:002015-10-30T23:00:56.409+00:00I'm so glad you managed to get your dream mach...I'm so glad you managed to get your dream machine Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972581207321576723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563954452896474448.post-17922831311970895082015-10-30T21:13:22.439+00:002015-10-30T21:13:22.439+00:00What a pleasant memory of your grandma.

Your story makes me even more thankful that my father-in-law gave me my mother-in-law's very old Singer sewing machine in the cabinet. It does need a little servicing, but I want to use for simple stitching, it's so special. And I want my daughter to have it someday. Have fun with your toy. Happy WOYWW!
