Thank goodness!! I had thought I was overboard with my lust for Singers 221 and the 301's! I just sold one of my 301 two tone and 1 FW recently at an godawful low price but it did eased up space around my area....I only have 7 machines now that includes an embroidery machine ( haven't used this one yet,brought at estate) those older Singers are hard to beat in workmanship quality....no disrespect for other brands, just never had any others to use.
