I just found the post about the Spartan! Sewfine, that is a great little machine. It is just the stripped down version of Singer's 99 - no light on the machine. That little Spartan is a great machine nevertheless! It sews great, has a reverse, a great kids machine - but, it is very heavy like Miriam told you. That machine will last your kids lifetime and their kids lifetime! Enjoy her! I have one as do a lot of the people here!
