I have a Singer from the 1950's - one of those all metal machines. That's the one I learned to sew & quilt on. But I do most of my sewing now on a "150th Anniversary" Singer. It isn't very fancy, but I wanted to have a zig-zag stitch! lol It's much lighter weight, which is good for me because I take it to class most weeks & it's easier to lift in & out of the car. I think it has about 10-12 different stitches built in, but is not one of the computerized ones.
I do want to get a Bernina with a stitch regulator, but that will have to wait until I fill up several piggy banks first!!
