Last autumn I was introduced into the wonderful world of sewing with a vintage sewing machine. Tucked away in a little antique store near a coastal town in Washington State, I found a beautiful bright pink Morse zigzag sewing machine made in the 1950s. I almost passed this machine up, uncertain if it would perform up to par with the newer Janome sewing machine I had been using. After a bit of hemming and hawing, I decided to take a chance and buy the heavy pink metal sewing machine. And I'm so glad that I did, because it would have been a regretful mistake if I had not.
I absolutely love my vintage Morse sewing machine. Not only is it beautiful, it's also a total workhorse. At the risk of sounding like a well-meaning grandmother, they just don't make things the way they used to. My machine runs so smoothly, and is so much quieter than any other machine I've ever sewn on.....
