SINGER – Past and present. History of the brand

Tip: Subtitles available!

I love my vintage Singer sewing machines. And I love sharing my enthusiasm in the tutorials I make.
But a lot has changed regarding the company and the products they produce.
In this video I tell you how Singer has changed and the history of The Singer Manufacturing Company.

English is not my native language. My apologies for any mispronunciations.
