how the mighty have fallen, in the 70's and early eighties , brother was one of the sewingmachine manufatruers who had not succomed to the ""lets make them disposable with plastic moving parts as well as housing" plan....they were really dependable and I know people who still have the brother sewing machine purchased for them at great expense by family for graduation, or to make their wedding wons back then.....but I had heard they nolonger were the original family owned company.....sigh Bambi (To be named later) TBNL

I purchased a Brother (not sure of the model number) and not happy with how lightweight it is. It moves all over the place when I sew. I am going back to vintage and antique machines. The stitches are good and lots of fun attachments...I am searching online tonight to find out what all the attachments do for a newly acquired treadle. You might want to check craigslist.org for you location. There are sewing machines old and new there frequently.
