Singer Inspiration 4205 Mechanical Sewing Machine
A repairman told me recently that the Singer company has sold several times over the years and their quality is substandard now. Most of the machines have attractive bells and whistles, but do not perform well. Kenmore and Janome both have relatively reasonably priced machines that may work better for you.
Good luck!!!
