Knitwitrosie,
Older machines that are 40-50 years old have a bigger throat space and the majority of them are all metal and last seemingly forever. If you just need a straight stitch, the Singer 301 is a wonderful machine. I used to sell the new Singers, they are Singers in name only; truly saddens me. I own and use some Singers that are 100 years old and still sew a beautiful stitch.
