Then I guess I hit the lottery 4 times in a row because all of my Singers have been purchased since 1990 and I haven't had a single problem. ;-) And even if I had gotten a bad one, I could buy 50 Singer sewing machines for the price of that one $10K machine.I'm sure it sews magnificantly (it should for that price) and I can see if you sew for a living, but I can't imagine a $10K machine is practical for most hobby sewers.

My Viking is top of the line and I spent $9,999 for it! Admittedly I spent more for the embroidery program but that was $2,500 complete. My Diamond is mostly metal still, will sew through 6 layers or more (Have not tried more yet) of twill and upholstery fabrics. Singers What I can say? Is that Singer was sold quite a while ago, and does not have the standard that it used to have so if you have one from the 1970's and back? Keep them they are worth gold, if you have purchased Singers in the recent past and they are working? Then you have won the lottery....yes they are made in China now, and have many plastic parts that are of a lower grade. If I could afford one I would get a Juki, it simply sews.
