I've read all the posts including your replies. Bless you!

I bought my dream machine three or so years ago: the Husqvarna Viking 875Q. It's out of your price range but keep it or a future Husqvarna in mind if your dear wife gets seriously involved in quilting.

Meanwhile, another poster mentioned the Elna SU (circa mid 1960s) which sells on ebay for around $200 is made of metal, is mechanical, and was made in Switzerland. My 1965 Elna SU was my precious sewing machine until I bought the 875Q. It's still my backup machine and still runs like a top after 47 years and counting.
