You are right. SVP makes Singer, Viking and Pfaff. Singer has been junk for many years now. I have heard many complaints about the others, too, and I'm sure the quality is not what they used to be....same as just about everything everything else we buy. Janome makes their own as does Bernina, and Brother company makes Brother (of various qualities) and Babylock, to different specifications. I have had good luck with the latter three, some folks may disagree. Buying from a reliable dealer is most important.

Maybe it would be a good idea to find out just who is doing the manufacturing on some of these newer machines as compared to the older well loved ones.
