I was given a heavy metal machine that is 50 years old. I will always keep it around. You could just ask around to find out if anyone has a machine near you that they no longer want. The old machines are great because they will sew through anything which is great for leather trim, leather wear, pvc or anything that is thick.
I agree. I just like the way the older ones sew too. Both of my machines are 20+ years old and they are good solid machines that do a good job. I was borrowing a new one form my mother in law and that machine is horrible! Cheaply made and it is supposedly a good brand. HA!
