Since a lot of you knock the newer Singer machines, I'm very curious as to how many of you actually bought them from a dealer or bought them at Walmart, Sam's, Costco, QVC, etc. I have two fairly new Singer machines, Quantum 3400 (I think it is about 10 years old and no longer manufactured) and a Futura 350 (4 years old) and I have never had a problem with either one. By the way, they were both purchased from an acutal Singer dealer.
