I bought a Singer Furtura, and as with the other ladys, it doesn't work good at all. I then bought a Brother, and not real happy with that one either. So I talked my dh into buying my Bernina 430, and I love it. I didn't get the embroidry attachment for it, for couldn't afford it. I love my bernina. People are right Singers aren't what they used to be. I used one when my children were young. I wouldn't buy another one.
