I'm looking forward to the reviews from those who buy it. The look is sort of growing on me, but I love the old metal ones with some history. I'm sure a lot of folks will buy it just as a "collectible investment" or eye candy. I read somewhere the list price is about $500, without some of the goodies bundled in the HSN package. So it seems like a good price over 5 payments with a 30 day return option on HSN.com. They are selling other Singers also. I'm saving my pennies for a quilter's stash garage sale this weekend. Enjoy your new machines, and let us know how you like them after putting them through their paces.
