Im thinking about buying a new singer for the different stitches.

From what I have heard, new Necchis are junk. And so I have also heard that about new Singers.

So... you take a chance. What I do know is I am never giving up my Bernina 830 nor my Elna Super. I used a borrowed Bernina 1530 on the three day quilt. It sewed nice, but half the functions either didn't work correctly, or only worked sometimes. No thanks to your computerized sewing doobobbers.
