I love my modern Bernina and Janome and love my vintage machines. But, I think there are just some plastic machines that are junk!!
I totatly agree with you Candace. I have good plastic machines. I won't buy a cheap one. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I love the old vintage machines too, like to play around on them. I also make something every now in them on one of them. But why would I want to use an old vintage machine when I have all the bells and whistles on my modern machines that makes my sewing a lot easier and faster. Just punch the buttons and you are off to the races, lol...have a great day and to each their own. I love all sewing machines!!!
