Just a warning, be careful! Years ago when I had my 1st embroidery machine I realized I needed a back-up for when I had the embroidery unit on, had so much fun with the back-up (bought a used Pfaff) I decided to get a back-up for the back-up, & then a back-up for the back-up for the back-up, and on it went! Kept checking garage sales, estate sales, etc. Love my machines! Yes, as many mentioned the Singer 301 is fantastic, & if you need decorative stitches the inexpensive Brothers are also great.
My group does much charity sewing, various projects, so I always can bring an extra machine for those who don't have a portable, somes we met at my house & several of us can sew, we have fun!
