I have to disagree re: repro Featherweight...I bought the first anniversary one a few yrs ago the 160 black and I Love it. It's a work horse and I've never had any issues with it. Stitches great and straight, easy threading etc...I got it thru Amazon at that time for 249. Only complaint I do have it's got no needle down which is annoying when we're so use to that. You have to do that by hand wheel.
I also have several vintage singers I love...can't kill those...3-301's and a 1901 Red Head. I also recently bought one of their emb machines which was discounted and discontinued for 199 just as a bkup to my good machines and again can't complain.
Guess it's the luck of the draw like any other brand.
I love and would only buy Husq Viking machines and others only buy Bernina's etc......it's what you get use too.
But my advise is do your research as I do before I buy any machine...Read reviews online.
