I love those old singer machines

And tables.

My dad had one in his work

Shed and used it to sew

Canvas and leather

Wish we still had it but I 

Think he sold at g sale

I tracked a twack down

A twetcherous track

Well.....I didn't know that.  The info will have to put on the top shelf, left side of the brain - just hope I can reach it when next needed

There are a number of terms for a group of ducks including a plump, a paddling, a sord, a raft and a twack.

Wish I had one of those industrial singers right now.  Well, not this instant.  

But on hand, due to the canvas blinds needing repairs to the weathered stitching.

I would love to have

Kept dads

It was in beautiful condition

Had pedals or electric

So would suit an alternate

Awesome

And you know the workmanship

I learnt to sew on one similar to this, with the knee control.  I'm not sure that it was a Singer though.  I have this vague recollection of Singers being too expensive.  Was there other similar brands around then?  It would have been in the ’6Os

How many must Singer have manufactured over time.

Mum gave each of the 4 daughters a Singer on their 21st birthdays.  As I did with my daughter.  All basic models of the time.

They have lowered in price, but the labour cost for "fixing" them has almost equalled the price of a new one.  Who really needs to fix a basic model, if it was cleaned and oiled regularly?
