I have several Kenmores and love them all. The one I use most is a 385.1960180. My sister has one just like it. They are also Janome made and were made in 1989. I also have a 158.13200 that was my mothers, a 158.17300 that takes cams, a 385.1788180 that is currently "down", and a 148.271 Commander that I keep set up for FMQ. Kenmore may never have "made" a machine, but they certainly picked the good ones to badge. Can't go wrong with a Kenmore.
