But those 'old' Singers had electric motors.

My first machine was a toy, but functional hand cranked machine, and I was allowed to use my grandmother's treadle with the long bobbin once I got a bit older. I have a Gamages hand cranked machine which I use for sewing silk.

I did feel my heart sink when the advice about the length of the kilt being to the lower edge of the kneecap was given.
