Singer 319w Do-over

I fell upon this Singer 319 "typewriter" or "piano" sewing machine at a local estate sale.  The cabinet had been repainted into a very cool deep striated turquoise blue.  The seat, however, left much to be desired.  It was smelly but actually comfortable.  I removed the bathroom rug cover, and am in the process of adding memory foam and a custom fabric to pull all of the mid-century colors together.  It came with ALL of the cams for specialty stitches, I am so blessed to have found it.  I'm excited to start using it.  I have read that this machine was a "bust" for Singer because people thought it was too difficult to use, something I can understand, however, I think it is a cool piece.  It was the top of the line in its day, all aluminum and all metal inside.  Enjoy the photo progress.
