I have a Singer 401 Slant-O-Matic, I got at an estate sale with a left handed desk cabinet. I love it and got it for $150.00. Had all attachments and goes through 4-pieces of denim. I also have a 2004 Singe 2662. For the same reason. I don't like being with out. I have gotten nothing but good reviews on the Slant-O-Matic. I always have a piece of fabric with me when I go to a sale so I can test it out. One of the members stated she also takes needle with her. Kind of like your own little sewing tester kit. usually the fabric is the size of a layer cake.
