Need new sewing machine!
I have a 35 yr old Kenmore that has never needed servicing that is finally giving up on me. Local repair man said can't get parts for it any more and I've basically worn out the feed dogs. Problem is I'm disabled, on SS and can't afford prices on most new machines. I would like only a basic one (no embroidery) with a good straight stitch, adjustable needle position and stitch length, and the other stitches I use besides a straight one is basic zig zag, the 3 step zig zag, and blanket stitch. Any recommendations for a good, dependable basic machine with these features without having to pay an arm and a leg?
DH saw a Singer H74 at Tuesday morning for $180, but the throat size is awful small and I have read bad reviews on it. Any other recommendations?
