Just curious about what is considered a vintage sewing machine. I have my old reliable Singer that's at least 30 years old. I love this machine. I considered buying a new 'electronic' computerized machine, but I'm so accustomed to my heavy, solid, all metal machine, that I'm not sure I could adapt. (Either that, or I'm afraid I'll fall in love with the new one and neglect 'old faithful'!). I don't want to part with her, she's been a good friend to me all these years.
