If one is not comforted by the quiet click-click of the 201 or 15 and not impressed with the tight stitch of the Necchi BU it's hard to explain. But if one is comforted by the click-click and impressed with the stitch of a vintage machine, it's hard to go back to a new wonder that does even the thinking for you.
