Okay, here's my take on the subject...learned so much from this board first of all about the Featherweights, so cute, (got one) won't be a "go to" for FMQ, too small, Loved the decals on the Singer 66 redeyes (got one) purrs and pieces beautifully, but no reverse and feed dogs don't drop, ...run across a Singer 99 and (got it) does okay and I love it but feed dogs still don't drop....lusted for a 15-91 to fill the "feed dog" item...(got one) it seems to do it ALL and does do the free motion quilting great...now if I can just get better...So I vote for the 15-91 to do it ALL. I also have a lovely Janome 6600P with all the fancy stitches, and an embroidery machine but it is the Black singers that make me smile when I walk into the sewing room. Had only the Janomes until a year ago... vintage machines IS addicting. BUT sooo much fun to use.
