Well just let me change that. I have a new-to-me Singer 301a and I love her to pieces or maybe that should be "I love her piecing". There aren't any Singer dealers in my area anymore but that wouldn't make any difference. I have an older computerized Singer, a gift from brother, and a 1930's Singer and I like them all. The 301a may become my favorite, though I enjoy the fancy stitches on the comp. and the easy piecing on the oldie.
I favor simplicity in machines I have to operate and maintain--my kitchen range with burners, broiler and oven and nothing else and the plainest washer and dryer I could find. If I could have a car without a computer I'd be happier than a cow in clover.
