I picked up this 1949 Singer sewing machine this week. I can't wait to test drive it! It has the original instructions, lots of feet, and a buttonholer also with instructions. I've always wanted one of these, but never wanted to put out the cash for it. Then I saw this for a pretty good price and snatched it up!

Lovely machine. I like the stool with the storage! It's OK, I need a back on my sewing chair anyway. Waiting to see that first project sewn!
Connie You will love love love this machine! Best and easiest machine to use ever! As they say, a real workhorse! Congrats!
Enjoy your new toy!!!
Looking forward to see your new creations with this new toy:))
Love,

What a beauty. I have a soft spot in my heart for older machines. Can you feel me coveting yours?
Your new machine is a beauty.You won't be disappointed...
My first machine was a singer featherweight but mine has an open arm..I guess they were only made in Canada and there are very few of them. I liked that feature when I was sewing for the kids, very handy for wee cuffs and pant legs.. My DH Bought it for me in 1956. I still have it and I love to take it to workshops. It is a real workhorse with perfect stitches. I don't have a cabinet for mine though. That is a nice feature. I also have all the attatchments.LOL
Through the years I have since aquired a Bernina , and a Babylock, and a Brother. Each one I use for something different. The Bernina is for general sewing, the brother I like for machine quilting and the Babylock has the embroidery unit.... Sigh... So many toys.
Look forward to see what you do with it..
Have fun

what a great looking machine - it looks like a featherweight. that's what I learned to sew on and still own (it was my mom's). Hasn't been used in a while, but still love it.
