1.They are a tank! Not like the plastic stuff today.
2.All heavy duty parts, my dh can repair anything on them for me unlike the new ones.
3.I like to think of all the women who had sewn on them and what they would of made. Kinda brings you closer to the machines and the history.
4.Not pricey like the new ones
5. Just plain fun!
I guess I don't even need any reasons, I just love them!
