Last week my son complained about his modern machine not liking to do heavy jobs. Hehe, I've been waiting for that. He will soon have my Homestead. 15 clone. I bought it in the 70s so I could learn to sew. Mom loved it and commandeered it. She has passed now and I will give it to her grandson. This will be his first excursion into vintage machines. Hmmm, maybe I better get a 15-91 ready if this isn't tough enough.

Good looking machine. I love the story of it being passed down through the generations.

Nice machine! Neat that you have this chance to pass the machine to your son.

I think it is neat when machines stay in the family.

What is he sewing that is heavier?

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Best feeling to hand down (or receive) a beloved sewing machine, especially when the "need" is felt already.

He is entering a new world, just sit back and watch!

That's how I turned to vintage sewing machines too. I was disgusted that ever modern machine I had each died after a few years, one after only ten projects! Granted they were all Wal-Mart machines, but now I know I can get a machine that will last me all my life and more for the same money.
