Singer Limited Edition 160 Sewing Machine Gift

Hello Everyone
 
 
Hope you are having a great weekend. 
 
I wanted to share my joy with you all. 
My husband and daughter surprised me with an Easter gift today and it is so awesome.  First, some background.  I love to sew. 
I'm not good with a pattern but I can free-style sew just about anything I set my mind to.  
I have 3 sewing machines and they all do different things.  One is just a regular plain sewing machine with average 52 stitch capability, another does embroidery and has like a million different stitches and functions and the 3rd one is an old singer that has personality.
 
My husband is such a romantic in his old age. 
It took 32 years but I think he's finally got it, lol.
Now, without further ramblings,  Tah Dah.
 
 
Below I noted the features in case anyone is looking to purchase one
 
The Singer 160 limited edition sewing machine. Created to commemorate Singer's 160 year anniversary by taking design cues from the past while introducing their simplest and most easy to use machine available.
