This Singer sewing machine is in incredible condition! Fully working with electric foot pedal and locking case

This machine also takes standard bobbins and loads/threads like a modern machine, so it's easy to get started

All metal construction means you can sew through the toughest fabrics with ease, but it is an antique, so straight stitch only

$165
