[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 206430, member: 135"] A long time ago Singers were good machines. But I bought a new one when I was young - about 1973 or thereabouts 0(not the cheapest one they made) and it was TERRIBLE. That has been a number of years ago so I don't know how they are now but at that time, after I bought mine, I heard only horror stories, so I'd be a little leery of the Singer. I ended up with an Alco (made by the old Necchi company) and it has done well but I'm not sure if they make them any more either. The best machine I've even sewed on in my mother's old Necchi - she bought it about 1951 and it still works better than any of the new ones. I'd ask around to talk to some people who own the kinds you are considering and see what they have to say about them. I found out first hand that you can't depend on the name to tell you anything.
