It also depends on what year the Kenmore is. I have a Kemore that is all metal and I bought it used for $25.00. I have a new Brother sewing, Brother embroidery, and Brother serger,. The Kenmore is great for quilting as it has a much wider neck. The older machins made larger neck areas then the newer ones. Go Fingure? It depends on the machine. Mine is great, bought it used and old and am glad I did!
