Another reason to keep all my old singers! Although I do have a Janome mc, a brother, and a singer that is newer models. I only bring my Janome in when I have too, to the tune of a $125 just for a cleaning. Probably more now.The other two I just got recently from my son so I will have to see. Love my singer vintage machines. Can clean and oil them myself, ( well my dh does it). I would have a hard time letting those out of sight.
