    Thoughts?

    Any thoughts or opinions on a Singer 237 Industrial Quality Thread Injector? Later model with adjustable foot pressure on pedal. It was made in Italy. All metal. It has been fully serviced by a professional. How difficult is it to run one of these things? Price $115 includes shipping.

    Running it is as easy as pushing on the pedal. Using it well is a different matter. That takes practice. The learning curve is fairly steep but easy to navigate.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    I figured that it would take a lot of practice. Thanks for the information. I will look it over. Any thoughts on this machine? I have no idea.

    I think pretty much any Singer is a good machine, as long as its running properly. I'd be careful buying one sight un-seen though.
