Yup, just went back to a mechanical sewing machine, after my 2 computerized ones aren't doing what I want. One of them needs a new motherboard...which I will never spend the money to get...so only does one stitch length (if I can sew in just one stitch length it works fine...but I'm discovering how often I change the stitch length)..the other does not have a zipper foot, which I have been needing lately....so the mechanical is back in service and doing a wonderful job!
