I love using the older machines, only have 1 new plastic wonder in my herd. Its a Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875. Most of the time I use one of my Singer featherweights or one of my treadles. I'm mainly a quilter, but also sew garments. The Viking is the only computerized machine I own, all the rest are older mechanicals, most are older than I am.
