Thank you for the comments, the Kenmore is the only e-machine I own everything else is all treadle operated. I have a wall unit in my shop that I keep my machines that I have earmarked for use and I just grab what ever one I feel like using at the time.
The Universal is the go to machine for me and if I want fancy stitches I just get my attachments out for it and I am ready to go for it!
I really love my model 27 which is a VS machine (vibrating shuttle) it so soothing to listen to it while you sew, it sounds like a fine tuned Model A Ford!! But the only catch is the you cant back tack on it and the bobbins do not hold a lot of thread but I still love the little guy!
All of my Christmas presents this year will sewn on my 1921 Singer 66 Red Eye. :wink:
