I purchased one of those Singers for my daughter a couple of years ago & I'm not impressed. My Janome dealer used to sell Singers & he told me they aren't what they used to be unless you can find an older one. My dealer has at least 50 used, reconditioned machines plus trade in's all the time, check with a reputable dealer first. You might make an excellent find - especially this time of the year. Good luck in your hunt
