Growing up, I frequently listen to the buzz of my Granny’s antique sewing machine. Though it seemed awfully ancient, it was attractive and elegant. My grandmother mentioned that she obtained the sewing machine from her Aunt who taught her how to use the mechanism. Everyday, she constantly seemed to have sewing work varying from pillows and curtains to outfits. Sometimes, I would also observe my mother give granny’s antique sewing machine a whirl. Mutually, they created several gorgeous designs that I have always treasured until this day.

When my parents passed away, I inherited almost everything including my loving grandmother’s wonderful vintage singer sewing machines. I was so stunned at how beautiful it still appears. And the most amazing thing about it is that it works perfectly albeit slow. Thankfully, my mother had a gift for keeping things intact and preserved.

One day while I was browsing the internet, I came across a picture of the antique singer sewing machine that looked like the one I inherited from my grandmother. It turns out that I own an antique sewing machine from Singer. The specific model that I have was named The Family or more famously known as The Turtleback. A rare piece, the Turtleback has been hunted by lots of antique collectors who are willing to pay huge amount for it. Because of my surprising discovery, I adored my antique sewing machine even more. Eventually I became passionate into finding more information about various antique sewing machines that made a difference in the textile industry as well as in the lives of millions of households. By then my attraction for these wonderful machines increased and I began collecting earlier pieces of sewing machines as well.

After a myriad of flea markets, classified ads, and online auctions later, I have acquired several antique sewing machines that are truly the envy of many antique collectors. What’s so terrific about my acquisitions are that they are mostly in perfect shape. Though some of them need a bit of oil, my antique sewing machines appear beautiful.
