on quality. I use the Schmetz needles in all of my Singer machines, the newest one I own is from 1968, the stitch quality is wonderful.
Here's a picture of my tan featherweight.

I just noticed something on your machines. They don't all have the gold scroll pattern on them.Is this because they're newer?[/quote]

The camera flash makes it look like the black machines have no decals.
My black featherweights have decals, the 1951 centennial model has the old style decals, the 1957 has paper clip(newer), the tan machine has no decals.
