RIP, 60's era Singer Stylus.
The fashionable polyester you must have aided my Mom with, before I was born.
In your age, your presser foot will no longer press. Your bobbin threads will no longer catch. Your flexi-stitch is no longer flexy. I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you can't remember what kind of tension you'd like to keep, of any kind, for longer than three inches of any stitch setting anymore.
In what I've spent to fix you over the last several years, I could have replaced you. But I didn't.
I feel the time is nigh.
Go, 60's era Singer Stylus.
We'll always have those fifth grade home ec projects, or early junior high days of regrettable stretch pants to remember. (Wait, maybe we shouldn't.)
...we'll always have those days in high school when I taught myself how to use your buttonhole setting so I could finish my Wednesday Addams dress, or that time we taught S4 how bobbins worked, remember? Remember how he went and made that Gir hoodie we love so much? No pattern! I know! We'll always have the silver space skirt or that Harley Quinn costume to remember fondly, right? Even though you randomly dropped your bobbin stitches, way back then, before anyone heard of a "costume malfunction"? Or that fuzzy red star backpack we made for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
star5? Or those clothes that were all in a fashion show at First Avenue, like those pants I made that really fit and zip up and have beltloops and everything? Yeah. Of course we will.
*sniff*
