One thing I've learned through the years is that, one needs to buy good quality tools and maintain them properly and they will serve you well for years if not decades. I used to sell new sewing machines and learned that the machines that cost at least $300-600 work so much better than the cheaper machines in the $200 range and less. You wouldn't buy a car that was poorly made would you? So why do so with a sewing machine? You deserve a good machine and then you don't have to replace them every 4 years. Sadly the Singer machines made now, aren't what they used to be; mostly clunky,
poorly made things.
:cry:
Getting off my soapbox now. :D
so true! You get what you pay for!
