I thought that I first should interview repair people so as to mostly
eliminate some brands and narrow down the field that way. The lady at
the shop said not to buy Viking, Euro-something,or Simplicity, and
maybe not Singer. These ideas were based upon her hearing the repair
guy cursing those machine while trying to fix them! Oh, and the
difficulty of getting repair parts, too. She showed me a new Elna
which appeared to be a clone of my 1982 Pfaff!


Have fun deciding Pat! I can report that all my Husqvarna Vikings - both
sewing machine and serger - bought about 3 years ago are good quality
and robust, and the sewing machine does a mean button hole!


And brilliant stitched eyelets for corsets...
