I'm almost embarrassed to say as I've never heard my machine mentioned on any quilting site. It's a Simplicity SW240 Quilters Classic. What's the deal? Is this an inferior machine or something? Well, for whatever reason I LOVE IT!!! It was reasonably priced, has metal gears and humms like a dream for me. It's all I've ever used for piecing/quilting and for me it works great. I've recently aquired TWO Singer 221 featherweights. A 1948 and a Centennial 1951. I've just tinkered with them so far. Haven't had a chance to sew anything on them yet, but I can't wait. In the meantime I'm very pleased and content with my Simplicity. It does everything I need it to and much more.
