Unfortunetly, most things are made in China now adays. Do I like it? No... but if I need to buy something, I don't have alot to choose from. And yes, I made me very angry over the pet food disaster. I have many pets, who in reality are my *children*.
But as far as buying sewing machines, if you want a new, modern machine, most are made in Asia. Thank you NAFTA, they put alot of American companies out of business. Anyone wanting an American made machine is going to have to go with a vintage machine. I have 2 in my stable. An 1896 Singer Treadle and a Singer Rockateer. Both say made in USA. Both aare vintage.
The thing is about buying Asian made machines is quality control. There are many good machines made overseas, also many are junk.
Which is another reason I am now a babylock girl. Their QC is excellent. JMO
