I have 26 machines, most are at least vintage if not antique, one is computerized. I do enjoy the needle up/down and on the occasional label, I use the embroidery capabilities, but I got it for the throat space not for those features. It's going on 11 years old, used almost daily, serviced professionally once a year, I clean the bobbin area after every 4 bobbins, have never had a problem with it. Most of the time I use the straight stitch.
