The best way to know is to pick a small project and sew on it. I have a Singer 15-91 which I have yet to sew on. But, I sew on my 1951 Singer 301A all the time. It has such a straight stitch it is incredible and you wouldn't believe how fast it can go. I think I read someplace about 1100 stitches per minute... The vintage machines (pre 80s) are amazing machines. Now, I also sew on my 2004 Bernina Artista. Each have their specialties. :-D
