Hi,
I have a Necchi that my parents bought for me in the 60's. Can't remember the exact year, sorry. It is in a cabinet, has all the cams. I like it a lot and plan on keeping it.
I bought a newer computerized portable machine that I could take to quilt meetings and classes. It is a Euro Pro. I got it on sale at half price with a payment plan and really like all the bells and whistles that it has.
They are very well built machines and will last a long time as the inside parts are made with metal which is why they are so heavy. The newer lighter machines are made of plastic which has the potential for wearing out and breaking after a period of time.
You made a good find and a wise purchase.
Pam
