Congratulations on your new machine. What a wonderful hubby!
I got my new machine about 15 years ago. I got it because it was all mechanical and I still love it. We bonded! It is just a New Home Limited but it was the first machine that didn't give me a lot of fits and it isn't tempermental. I appreciate this machine. Since that time, I've bought vintage Singer sewing machines which I have always loved, but I have to admit that I would never get rid of that New Home Limited. To me, it is the tops!
