I don’t have “hobbies” I’m developing a robust Post-Apocalyptic skill set.
I have my great grand mothers Singer, all original parts with the exception of the cord for the wheel, had to replace original as it was stretched out. , Not sure what the model is but I do know there is no zipper foot for it, too old per the Singer company. I sewed all my maternity clothes on it and the zippers were a b@#**h to put in.
I actually have my mother in-law's Singer here now, but it is newer... and electric!
Still an awesome machine, worthy of the singer name, but pooched if the grid goes down.
But... like my grinder and grain mill, I am sure I can jury rig it to run off a bicycle if needed.

Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
I was just talking to the experts in the house, wife and mother-in-law. They agree the Singer and Bernina, which a lot of people start out with are out dated. I gave them the ole what would you pick? The said the Baby Lock because they are so much better. If you get into sewing you will end up with one. If not the resale is great. That is unless you are buying a treadle machine.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
Ahh... you kids...
lol
treadle is the term for the foot powered component of the old sewing machines...

Lol I actually saw an industrial leather sewing machine that had foot pedals like a bike because of how much pressure it used. Never knew what it was for that would use leather that thick but it took almost 3 full turns of the foot pedals to do one stitch.
