He recommends a high end Brother or Baby Lock as the best new ones being made now, and the best for the money. Others have said the same thing about new Singers. The older ones made by Singer are great. It is too bad the new company keeps putting Singer name on them when they are really not worth the money.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I love my new Singer. There are ways to tell it is a quality machine. I've been sewing for over 50 years and know a good machine when I sew on one. It has plenty of power to pull a heavy quilt through the needle. It has a beautiful stitch. It embroiders like a dream. Comes with plenty of software. I couldn't be happier.
