They are very sturdy! So, you can pack them up and take to a workshop or a retreat and don't have to worry that it will get out of wack by moving it around. They are not as expensive as a lot of the sewing machines make today, and are a lot more durable. You can easily get parts when you need them to fix the few items that are made to wear and be replaced. They are cute and come in such a cute case that holds everything you need! They (the older ones) come in black just like the Model A's that Henry Ford said 'that you could have any color you wanted as long as it was black'. Of course, there are pale turquoise and tan ones that were made later. They have LOTS of accessories that do a variety of specialty stitching (hem, pleat, etc). There are also zipzag attachments with cams and blind stitch attachment. So no matter what you have there are still other items that were made to go with them. I liked them so much that I built a business around them! www.thequiltgal.com
