Now for a word from a sewing machine Luddite. I use and prefer my 1912 Singer treadle sewing machine. I can still get parts for her and she still runs like a champ. It was a gift from my in-laws, who knew I had been wanting one (it had been my wife's grandmother's machine). I also have an old Nechi school room machine (that I bought new) and a serger. I still prefer the treadle machine and have never had any problem sewing anything that I can get under the pressure foot.

Just my two cents worth.
