Plus, I've seen all kinds of other good practical reasons here, too - piecing on one, other sewing on another; various stitches or setups being used alternately, etc ....
Love my machines!!! And I know you do, too!!!

This one's a response to mjsylvstr - I can only vouch for myself, but yes, my 160 is wonderful! Haven't had one problem with it yet, and the ease of use factor is just fantastic. These are actually the first two machines I've ever owned that have a needle threader which works ALL the time!
I'm also surprised at how much the prices have increased for this machine, especially on eBay, where I have seen them actually sold (by checking the completed auctions) for around $1,000. I imagine it's because they were only produced in 2012, for Singer's anniversary, and supposedly there were a limited number of them made. The money factor is tempting (because I paid under $400 for the machine when I bought it), but I'm not going to let her go!

I noticed on Amazon for a while that they priced at $2000.00 for the new ones ......and the last time I looked they were at $599.00. I bought mine and paid $199.00........omg, what a buy........and she's so pretty at that.
Makes it even a better buy. Thanks for the input......I will begin to enjoy mine also......
