What is wrong with you people? So what if it isn't all metal! So what if this or that! Some of us like yellow in quilts, some of us don't. Why bash the excitement of a person who is excited about getting a new sewing baby! I'd love to have the excitement of getting one of these machines but I don't need 66 decorative stitches. Do you think that would make me put down anyone who wants them? If I had one of these machines I wouldn't have to use them. Do I smell a bit of Featherweight snobbery here???? Old is old no matter what it is.
