I have about ten machines (most of those, vintage) and not one is computerized. I just love a mechanical machine. My main quilter is my Juki TL2010Q purchased about a year and a half ago, and even it is mechanical and not computerized. I don't care for machine embroidery so I don't see as I'm missing anything. When I need zig zag and a few fancy stitches, I have my 1970's Bernina Record 830 and my Singer 403 with all of it's cams!
