I just bought a Singer Confidence Quilter a couple of months ago an I love it. Has the bells and whistles that I did not have on my other machines. Just got done piecing a queen size quilt and had no problems. Also was a great price. Had reservations as I had read some negative things, but one lady here on the post said that she had one and had no problems. I am glad that I got this machine.

Do any of you have Singers that you are happy with? I know we are all happy with our Featherweights.......but I'm curious about the others.
Incidentally, I also have the Baby Lock Ellageo ESG3. It was quite pricey, but all plastic.

I love all of my Singer sewing machines. I think I have three or four Singer sewing machines, and two more treadle sewing machines.
I love all of my Bernina sewing machines.
I love my 2 Kenmore machines -- one is a serger.
Someday I hope to love a Gammill -- not tomorrow, but someday.

I am looking for info on treadles. Isn't there a place on here with info? I can't seem to find it. I want one so bad but not sure what to look for. If there is no belt do you just "roll" the wheel to see if it works????
There is one on Craigs list for $75.00 but the cabinet is water damaged.

I have several vintage Singers plus a 6215 which has been through 3 moves with the Army movers and survived them all. It works wonderfully and was a present from DH almost 23 years ago. The older machines are great and love their harp size. WIll have to wait til carpal tunnel release surgery site heals before doing much sewing-wise. The only other machine I'd like to have is either a FW or a 301. DH has agreed that I may have one more for the collection and then I'm done.

I have an older singer in a cabinet that is a tiny little green thing.,.very basic, but what a stitch she has....I would say it is much older though...
