Went to a sale in the neighborhood. Found a Singer Touch and Sew.
It's a portable. It was sitting on the floor and I couldn't get the
serial number or the model, just that is was a Touch and Sew.

No accessories or manual, has foot pedal and cords with it, just one
foot. The one foot tells me it zig-zags.

It is emaculate. Price is $90.00. I said that was high. The lady had
asked her father what he wanted for the SM.

We talked for a while. I was sorting through all the fabric that was
for sale also. One dollar a yard. She sold the cottons I picked out
that totaled 7 1/2 yards for 4 dollars.

The lady told me to come back because the sale was going on for 3 days.
I have a feeling I might be able to get this machine, if it isn't
scooped up first, but at a lower price.

So what do you think I should offer for it. Can't find anything like it
on e-bay except for a Little Touch and Sew, the child's model.

HELP!!!!

Hi Kate,

I found a "Golden Touch and Sew" listed here http://tinyurl.com/jcror

For what it is worth, I used to own one of these and I wouldn't pay that
much for it. The model you are looking at could be very different, so
ignore me :-) I was just not happy with the Singer. It is still around
someplace at my sister's house. If this doesn't work out for you let me
know. Maybe we can arrange something.

Touch and sew machines are often called touch and swear.
They aren't Singers best made machine. I might give $20
for one but $90 should come in a cabinet with every accessory
made. There are just too many of them around. There were several
touch and sew models. There is one that you can wind the
bobbin while still in the machine. I have a friend that has
that particular model because she has trouble with her hands.
Her husband does machine repairs though.
I'd pass but that is just my thought. Irene probably knows a
lot more than me about these machines.

There's one listed on craigslist.com (Cleveland) with
cabinet for $25, if that's of any help.

Kudos to you on the great fabric score! :)

I and several friends have called this machine the "Touch and Swear".
One friend called hers the "Touch and Repair."

You might want to take that into account. I think $90 is way high.

I bought a Kenmore at a garage sale for my daughter. It was from the
same era. It came with dozens of cams including monogrammers. I paid
$25 and another $80 to tune it up and fix the bobbin winder.
