I bring it with to sewing class because it is light weight and had no problems and had it for 10 years. I was inspired by some of the ladies in my sewing classes by using old feather weight Singers. I was so inspired I took my old machine out, oiled it and use it for piecing. I forgot what beautiful stitching it sewed. It is very important also to choice a machine that your can bring it to someone that can fixed your machine.

Excellent budget. The best machine for her is the one she bonds with. Go shopping!
