Yes-I sure do miss my Kenmore I bought when I was in 8th grade (many, many years ago)!!! I could sew anything on that machine and everything was made of metal on the machine. I miss that machine so much. Had to sell it when we moved and I sure wish I could get it back again. It had a nice cabinet to go with it. Now days everything is plastic and the sewing machines definitely don't meet any standards that I am happy with.
