A bit of screaming is good for you. I've been 'looking' at the new fangled sewing machines -you know the ones with all the bells and whistles-After hearing so many complaints about so many brands I think I'll just stick to my always go to- a Singer-no fancy name or model it just says Singer on it (manufactured in Jan/06.) Its got a couple doz. fancy stitches I could use with a twist of a dial. I've got a few million miles on her but She will sew any thing I throw at her The best $200. I ever spent.The only thing that could go wrong is a $40.motor I can replace myself.
