I have an old Kenmore I got at a yard sale over 10 years ago for $30.I'm guessing it's 30-40 years old. Couldn't find a date on it. It's a "Ultra Stitch 6" Pretty basic, but does do blind hemming and zig zag and a few other stitches. When my "Benz" machine (Viking) gives me a hard time I take out the old reliable.
