I just looked at Singers web site. YUCKAPOOIE! There is not one single machine there that I would pay money for.
I'd rather use my vintage cast iron behemoths after I've spent the time to refurb them, than pay for a new piece of plastic junque.
The newest machine we have now is a Singer 4622A circa early 90s. It's got 20+ built in stitches and is still mechanical. It works good and we only have about $18.00 or so dollars in it all total. It still has too much plastic for me.

My favorite machine for piecing my denim quilts is Minerva, my Minnesota Mdl B circa 1909. She just keeps on going. She's 104 years old and will no doubt be sewing after I've taken my dirt nap.

That is the kind of product our country should be making. But not any more. I shall remain in the vintage machine club. I like the old ones.
