I have several vintage Singers plus a 6215 which has been through 3 moves with the Army movers and survived them all. It works wonderfully and was a present from DH almost 23 years ago. The older machines are great and love their harp size. WIll have to wait til carpal tunnel release surgery site heals before doing much sewing-wise. The only other machine I'd like to have is either a FW or a 301. DH has agreed that I may have one more for the collection and then I'm done.
