I have 5 machines and a serger. 1 of the 5 is a digital that does LOADS of fancy stitches. 1 is a new Brother that has fancy stitches, is computerized and embroiders as well as sews. 1 is a 1972 Singer Touch and Sew in original cabinet, with all the attachments. 1 is a 1917 Singer model 66 "Red-Eye" treadle in original cabinet with all the attachments. The last is my 1949 FW. Of all the machines, it is my favorite to piece on and invaluable for taking to classes or toting downstairs to piece on a folding table in front of the TV during football season. I love all my machines for different reasons, but NOTHING tops the FW for the perfect straight stitch, the lightness, and the ease of maintenance. Am I done collecting machines??? No, I still want the 301 for FMQ! After I get that one, I MIGHT be done....but maybe NOT
