I'm going to very gingerly raise my hand and say... yes, there are people who have Singer machines which are NOT problematic... I'm one of them. I've owned Singers for years and only my Quantum L-500 was problematic and had to go back to the company for tweaking, but it works great now.
Personally, I'm intrigued by the new Featherweight. It has a lot of really nice features. I'm waiting for some reviews to be posted; right now, there isn't enough information to make the decision to buy, and I believe the price will come down at some point.
But please, let's not bash a machine that nobody has seen or used yet.
