I purchased one last night, I have been waiting since Oct. to purchase. This will not be my primary machine . I have 13 vintage Singers and when I saw this I think the looks sold me. I know singer has not had a great rep. on their new machines but wanted this mostly for my collection as it is a limited add. The price on it was really good and it came with alot of goodies. I will hope for the best with this purchase, as my mother always said a fool and her gold LOL.
