My first machine was a Singer Ingenuty my husband bought me from Walmart. A real worker machine have had it 4 years never had a problem with it. It has 75 different stitches
and I have had it cleaned once in that time. The dealer tech said it was a great starter machine and in good shape. I now have a Babylock imagine serger and a Babylock Esante BLN embroidery/sew combo these too are great machines. I am sure the Babylocks will out last the singer but they are all running great now.
