I use my old Singer 401A a lot but I bought a Brother computerized Project Runway five years ago to make some of the decorator stitches I could not make on my older one. I loved it and when my DD said she wanted to start to sew I gave it to her and went to Walmart and bought the newer one that came with all the quilting feet. I love it, it is such a great machine. My DH gave me the Brother embroidery machine and I love that one also.
