My newest Singer is from 1968, my oldest Singer is about 1910 both are great machines. I think its sad that the new Singers aren't up to par; they are noisy when running and don't sew very well & seem to break easily too. The company is only in business to make money, they don't seem to care about the quality of their products.
I used to sell the new Singers and I was embarrassed to sell such poor quality machines. :oops:
