Not related to the machine, although I saw it and considered it too, but I've had good luck with the Hillsboro, OR location. They shipped me a Singer 99 and bubble-wrapped the h*** out of it. The foot pedal was bubble-wrapped, the machine, the case inside and out. That machine couldn't have moved half an inch in shipping. And that is heavy! Plus their charges were reasonable.
I don't have any 15s or 15 clones... maybe I need one!
