Newest machine


This is the machine I got on eBay just before going to MI to visit family, quilting buddies, and fellow machine collectors last month. It's a Singer model 27 with Sphinx decals in decent condition, with the old-style hand crank made for machines without a motor boss. The hand crank is U-shaped and fits on over the shaft, with the hand wheel down in the U. Isn't she pretty? I drove to Austin, TX to get her. I hope I didn't put her pic on before, can't remember. Anyway, it was a nice day trip, around 8 hours of driving total because of a lengthy detour around where an 18 wheeler carrying blasting caps had turned over in the road during an accident--could have blown that county right off the map, and took a long time to clear up.
