Well seeings how my "newest" machine is a Singer 403a that my Mom bought new in the 50's or 60's and my other machine is a Singer Featherweight...I guess you could say I don't really care too much for the newer ones do I? lol Might be fun to play on someone elses just to see what one is like, but as long as mine keep working I don't see myself buying one of the new fandangled ones.
