For the really "good" Singers, I like to have multiple copies of them for assembly comparison purposes, and I really like them. For some reason, I have a soft spot for the Singer 201's (up to 5 right now. I am fascinated by the VS Singers because they are old, and I have put vintage handcranks on them for my 5 granddaughters (all 5 y.o. and under!) so I can teach them to sew. All the rest (total = 44) I like because they are neat, mechanical, and inexpensive.
