Happy Birthday.
Can't figure out how old you are - but a breakup is painful, regardless of one's age.
I have been acquiring Singers manufactured in the 1960's - and they sew an AWESOME straight stitch. Especially after getting them serviced. The 237 does a nicer satin stitch than my newer (1980's) Pfaff.
Truth be told, I use very few of the fancy features on my Pfaff. I do wish it had a buttonhole stitch, but other than that , it does more than I actually use.
I think if you are asking, you probably think/know you should be working on the bills and are looking for permission to buy a different machine.
At any rate, I hope good things come your way.
