I was finally able to locate and purchase a Singer 401A that was local, only 20 minutes away. I don't like having machines shipped. I worry about them all the time they're in transit because some people don't pack them properly. Anyway, it's here and it's wonderful! I am so much in awe of how much the older machines can do. I thought we were so smart with our computerized machines, but the stitches this one makes are lovely. And it has two throat plates to switch, depending on whether you are zigzagging or straight stitching. Funny that the brand new Janome 12000 has the same feature.......Everything old is new again I guess:) Thanks for looking!
