It’s a 1989 Singer(?) Sonata Sew-Ease 6621.

I’m sure it’s not the finest piece of machinery out there, but for $10 it came with a pedal, several bobbins, some thread, a few needles, and everything on it appears to be in working order.

After a video chat with my mom, I was able to run a test stitch:

I’m not sure if this is gonna take off as a hobby for me, but I’m gonna give it a go with what time I can spare! I even have a crappy projector I might try to use 😬

    Very nice. Sewing is not something I do often, but it has been a good skill to have at many times and has saved my family and I a lot of money.

    Give a shot to making something relatively easy that will give you a good feel for the capability of the machine and doesn’t necessarily require a pattern. Curtains were the last thing I made that fit that description.
