[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 206772, member: 3907"] I used to have an ancient Singer that I inherited from my grandmother. Worked a right treat from when she first bought it in 1964 until the last time I used it (about 2002). I also had a little Bernina portable (Don't remember the model), but it was a real workhorse and the machine I used when I ran a dressmaking business for about 3 years. It held up to all the abuse I could give it. I agree with the advice to get the best you can afford, with a good warranty. Lots of machines have incredible bells and whistles, but what you're looking for is one with good basics and reliability. I like the Berninas and Husqvarnas, if I had to buy a new machine today.
