Singer Touch and Sew 758 sewing machine $35
This is a great sewing machine which I got from my mom. Sadly I just don't sew and need to free up some room. Included is original foot pedal, accessories box and some needles/notions. I will also include a Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing book in v. good condition. I used it about a year ago and it worked fine, seems to be in good working condition. May need a tune-up since it's really not been used regularly for a long time though. You're welcome to come check it out. I don't have the original manual but I have seen them online.
Whole set for $35. Cash and carry in Prospect Heights.
Call 718-857-4279 or pm me.
I don't know much about sewing machines so I looked online for a review. It's an older model so this was the only one I could find. It should give you an idea of the features:
This was pretty state of the art at the time and a lot of today's machines don't do much more than this one. It has a four step button hole and the decorative stitches require switching cams called "fashion disks" but it is a simple procedure and it gives me over 20 different stitches. The absolute best feature is the wind in place bobbin. You don't need to take the bobbin out when you run out of thread, you don't need to re-thread anythng to fill the bobbin, so running out in the middle of a seam is a delay of a minute or less before you are back to work.

Any chance you can post a pic? I just searched for one online but couldn't find it... I'm interested, if it works well! Would love to get an idea of what it looks like first, is that possible?

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't check the post again so I just saw your question. I don't have photos right now since it's in my daughter's room who is sleeping, but you can look at:

or search ebay for Singer 758 (click Advanced Search, and then Completed Listings to get a couple of photos). It is the same model as these. I can take photos later if you want. It's an older machine but hasn't been used in a long time so it's in very good condition. Probably could use a tune-up (I don't know much about sewing machines). I really need to free up some space so make me a reasonable offer and I'll be happy to sell it!
