I get now why sewists start accumulating more sewing machines after they’ve been sewing for a while. I’m a little too wary to try sewing on my machine right now because I think I desperately need to change the motor lest I risk starting a fire. It’s a vintage machine that I’m pretty sure was made in ‘63 (it was my grandma’s originally and then given to me by my mother!) and it is absolutely still the original motor and this baby gets HOT but I am inspired to do so many projects right now and if I had another sewing machine I could still do them. Alas I must order a new motor and wait for it to come in the mail

#personal #sewing #fibre arts #vintage singer #but honestly with a new motor and belt this baby will be practically brand new #singer 237 fashion mate #I’m pretty sure this was either the last or one of the last all metal inside singers!!#if I take good care of it with cleaning and oiling this thing could easily outlast me #I mean it was sitting in storage at my mothers house for who knows how many decades #I had never seen it in my life until she gave it to me so put away since before I was born #and I haven’t had a single problem with it until now but that’s more to do with really old electrical #and so easy to fix with the external motors #if anybody has some recommendations for a good external motor lmk #there are so many options on ebay and I bet a bunch of them are junk but I’m sure there are some good ones out there
