Have you had a bad experience with your machine? I have only round type bobbin machines, but a friend of mine has a Singer 28 which she swears is her favorite, and she has a lot of vintage and modern sewing machines. The only thing she complained about, was the reproduction bobbins, she had to do a bit of research to get ones that were up to the standard of the old ones. She has a bunch of them now, and advice to wind a few of the while your at it, since they run empty a bit faster. Because of her positive feedback on her 28, I have been thinking about a 28 or perhaps a 128.
