Great story!

I loved the history around a single sewing machine. The people and their stories were very engaging.

Amazing.

As an avid quilter, listening to the story of this cute little singer sewing machine, was simply delightful. I didn't even know Singer was in Scotland. The back story, history and jumping back and forth in time was well written and easy to follow.
Thank you for a delightful listen!

Wonderful story!

So we'll told the writing is exceptional, and the reading was very well done. I found it captivating.

Just average

It was an ok storyline. A lot of time periods to keep track of. Not as good as I’d hoped. The narrator did a good job though.

Great book for this old Singer lover

I love the old Singer machines! This book made me think more about the part they played on n history and still to this day!
