I just got the 3rd one...I have a Bernina that I love (about 5 years old) and a $15.00 Singer from Goodwill, that sews a good tight seam, and I jsut won a 1919 Singer that should be in the mail and headed my way...I think I would love to have a non electric one too...we loose power here in the winter, and I could just keep right on sewing if I could peddle my way along.
