Glad to have you here and finding things that work for you. My neighbor was a construction worker who had been just been released to go back to work when Covid struck... for awhile he borrowed one of my vintage machines to make masks for his family and really thought about maybe going into upholstery or commercial sewing of drapes and such.
My own vintage is a Remington, I also like Morse machines a lot -- they tend to have two toned paint jobs and fancy buttons and that wonderful incredible powerful straight stitch that can sew all day with no fuss. Otherwise, I use a rather cranky and particular modern Bernina that can do many things on days when it isn't fussy. Sometimes I wonder why -- but then I'm using the auto threader and the super huge throat and the bright lighting and I know why Bernie is now the main machine and Remy is the special use/loaner.
