My (Old) New Baby

A beautiful vintage Singer sewing machine came into Geoff's shop on Wednesday & he decided to gift me with it!! I actually can't believe it's mine! :)


I've done a bit of research & found this site which, according to its serial number, falls here: EG-312.861 to EG-999.999 and places my machine in 1951 - May of that year to be exact and one of the 128K series & there were 3000 made in this series.

It is beautifully painted! It took me a little while, but I managed to find a free manual to download to see how to thread it correctly...


After looking up and fiddling a bit with the bullet-shaped shuttle for the bottom thread, I managed to sew a bit...and it works so beautifully!
