I own a Kenmore 158.14311 that is my original machine from the 70's or early 80's. It is not a touch and sew. It is an excellent basic machine and works as well today as it did when it was new. I have sewn most everything on it from dainty clothing to denim slipcovers to drapes to quilts. I have seen some that look like it on ebay for various prices. I think the main problem with them as they get older is worn feed dogs. I bought a Babylock Symphony because I wanted a larger harp and some additional features, but I still sew on my old Kenmore about half of the time. I also own a featherweight that sews well, but not as well as my Kenmore. This Kenmore uses short shank feet and they interchange with my featherweight I would never give it up my old Kenmore.
