At times, I feel like someone that still doesn't have electricity or phone service and still carries water in from the creek and burns wood for heat.
My favorite machine is probably one I bought new in the '70s. It is also my newest machine other than the embroidery machine I got for Christmas a couple of years ago.
I actually prefer the older machines, the older the better. In fact, I have 2 treadles that are in proper working order. I recently finished a t-shirt quilt for my DDIL on a 90+ year old machine. With the proper attachments and knowhow, these old machines will do almost anything the newer ones will.
