Touch and Sews are also called Touch and Throws or Sew and Throws. There's not really a high regard for them. But, if you like it and it sews well for you, that's all that matters.
Sewing machine mechanics I know call them Touch and Swears. Singer had stopped making good, solid, well-engineered machines by the time this machine came out.
When this machine breaks, throw it out. I say that about few machines. Parts are plastic, not easily fixable, and - IMHO - not worth fixing. But in the meantime, maybe you can get lots of good sewing out of her.
