wow...for all that plastic...sigh...
would rather have a 301 long bed I think!

Exactly what I was thinking...no metal, cheap made, won't last. Gosh, we all sound like machine snobs! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It might be a good running machine, but it's not visually attractive to me so I'd never buy one.

I think it is pretty, lots of people on this board are not in very good moods. If you don't like it don't buy it, being snotty is not required.

It's all in the personal experience. I have an Alpha Sew that I bought a few years back when I first discovered "The" FW. It is nothing but a piece of ill-machined junk. Others like them, but I would not take money for another one.
As for the limited edition Singer. I'd prefer to play with one and then voice my opinion but with just a quick glance I'd pass.

This little machine is a workhorse and amazingly the only thing plastic on it is the case. Everything else is metal.

interesting info for sure...wonder why they made a cheap looking plastic case for it..when the ALPHA sew replica is metal??

I hear that I don't like the look of it either

don't like the plastic or the throat, but I think it cute, but wont be buying one, will stick to my older models. I do need a smaller portable one, I just keep on looking. Give me metal please, something that I can do minor repair or servicing and not have to take to an expert.
