Hi...........I have had the Singer 401 since l957. My first Wedding anniversary gift. It is a work horse. I also have a Kenmore (l976) and a Brother Model LT3750...... Enjoy the Brother. I can move it from one place to another. So light. The 401 is heavy, heavy but I always go back to that machine for my heavy work.
Enjoy........I sure do
Happy Sewing.
