Definitely nice when it works. I've had one or two where it worked and then a couple where I got an "Eff off" response. Most I just don't get a response to anymore. I reply to way fewer than I...

Yep. One of the case latches. :( People cut them off when they can't find the key. It's better to just take it into a shop - a Singer store will have a key for sure, many of the other sewing shops...
