I've read lots of negatives on the later Singer machines, and I'm wondering when Singer quit making great machines.
Do any of you have Singers that you are happy with? I know we are all happy with our Featherweights.......but I'm curious about the others.
Incidentally, I also have the Baby Lock Ellageo ESG3. It was quite pricey, but all plastic.
I have the singer 201, and the Singer 401 A, and I love them both. I have been told by a couple of sewing machine repair men that the 401 was the last really good Singer made, but I am sure some would think differently.
