I'm so glad you posted this. I felt foolish taking my Singer Inspiration to quilting class when everyone else had something fancy and computerized. When I received the machine as a gift for xmas, I was thrilled. I hadn't touched a sewing machine in 20yrs and I thought this one had all the bells and whistles until I saw everyone elses babies. But.....I keep going back to my first impression when I tried her out which was "oh I love this!" Maybe someday I'll get something which has more choices for stitches and embroidery but I've got a feeling for the actual "workhorse" I'll keep using my "Sally Singer".
