Yesterday as I was working on my husband's quilt, I started to think about how long I have been sewing on this machine.
I remember going to Sears out at Tri-County Mall every weekend and "drooling" over the new ZigZag machine they had. This model was considered "top of the line" back then. I had a part-time job working 16 hours a weekend at McDonalds. I think minimum wage back then was $4 or $5. I saved every penny I had until I had enough to buy the sewing machine. I was oh so proud when I brought it home. Surprisingly that was 48 years ago!! And, here I am still sewing on it and it still sews beautifully.
I was thinking of all the things I have made on this machine. Work clothes for me when I worked at Procter & Gamble, baby clothes for my son, and too many quilts to keep track of. What a story this machine could tell!
I won't trade this machine in for the world!!! In fact, I just recently bought another one as a back-up!! Thank you Sears for making such a wonderful sewing machines!!
