I didn't even think about the PX. Trying to recall if ours carries machines. Some else suggest pawn shops, poking in there. I just don't know much of anything about machines. I had an old Singer from the 70's, and sewed on that till 2 yrs ago. I had a Brother for a brief, far be it brief time. Given to me broke, I fixed and gave it my sister, hated how the bobbin was sideways.
I havn't heard of most of these machines, I have been looking them up online as I go.
