I went the way of the industrial singer 30+ years ago for $1000. Huge motor and two stitches, straight and zigzag. Have to change the plates and feed dogs each time so bought a second one about 7 years ago to leave each set up with the one stitch. The new machine cost $1000. So in 30+ years I have spent $2000 and have two machines which do exactly what I want and service them myself. Whatever works.
