My Mom had a Singer touch and throw. OMG I hated that machine!!! I'm suprised I'm still sewing after that.

They also said that the thread gets all bunched and tangled up. From what I've read on the 6000 - it's either feast or famine. They either have absolutely no problems out of it and wouldn't trade it for anything and the others hate it because of the noises and thread and jamming problems. Thanks so much for your input!
