I have a Bernina that is set up and is the one I use mainly. The one I used before is a mechanical machine a New Home. Right now my daughter has it up at college. My husband bought me a Singer from 1901. I haven't used that but he has to go get it out of storage. I wish it were a featherweight--but I am going to see if it will be any lighter than my Bernina. I really don't like lugging it around.
