Depending on your needs or desires I should say. The 127 is a Vibrating Shuttle which to me is a soothing machine to use. The 66 is more of a modern drop in bobbin type of a machine and the machine is a lot smoother when it operates. I love both machines and it would be hard to chose just one of them. But I use my 66 more than the 27 I have.

Thank you, Billy.
