Oh yes definitely. My husband insisted on getting me a computerized one when I started sewing again. Although I am computer savy I just can't get the machine without reading the book each time I use it.
Decided I wanted a Featherweight again. I was stupid when we got married and traded my family heirloom in on a new machine in the late 1960's. I now have 7 Featherweights, 3 other machines (2 Singers) in cabinets that are not electrified. I try to rotate. And, only use the computer one for special things.
