Mine was from Argos..which meant there was discount and a free offer for a dust cover..my first machine was a Brother...cheaper than the usual Singer at the time..but an almost identical just a copy from abroad..
The old one..I knew every noise it made..kept her oiled and used a paintbrush to dust the workings. she was an old friend..must get acquainted with this new one..
In High School the first lesson was threading a machine..and helping the pupils kept me on my toes.
You mentioning your purchase has got me keen..keep me posted.
