Sears Kenmore Model 1318

I bought the Sears Kenmore Model 1318 sewing machine when I was 18 years old in 1968. It is over 40 years old and still going strong!!

I love my machine; it is the one thing I have always kept because I can sew anything. I have made all my own clothes and my son's when he was little. I have made quilts, tents, awnings. You name it, I've probably made it.

The only thing I have ever done is oil my machine and I believe that I have had it adjusted by a repair man 2x in all the years I've had it. Do I sew much? I always have some project going.

I definitely recommend buying a Kenmore sewing machine. oh yes, this machine features straight stitches, zig-zag, stretch stitching and a buttonhole attachment. I wouldn't trade it for any newer fancy model, because it sews perfectly!
