The Singer Model 20 SewHandy was made from 1910 through the 1950s, and then again in 1970.  A small machine, marketed mainly for children as a first machine, it is actually more like a miniature adult machine.  I found this out when I finally bought one to use for Quilts For Veterans.  I wasn't sure such a small machine would have any advantages over a full-size machine, but in actuality, its simplicity is its main advantage.

Like other "toy" machines of the time, it is a chain stitch sewing machine, has one thread lead that makes a looped stitch.  The model 20 sews a fine, delicate stitch, very similar to the quality of vintage Singer full-size machines.  It has a few more features than other brand toy machines, such as a stitch length regulator, a gear on the drive wheel instead of a cam, and on the 20-10 from the 1950s that I own, numbered threading guides.  It truly was and is a quality first sewing machine, and I am currently sewing the rows together for my Quilt 3 with one.

I have purchased three of these, in keeping with being a child of a Veteran, and plan on using this simple machine in many, if not all of the future quilts.
