I have 2 Kenmores one set up in each daughter's homes that I live in. They sure are reliable neither cost very much in fact my son gave me one that is about 20 years old and still makes a great seam and the bobbins still fit the new machine I bought. I do simple quilts and have them guilted by a pattern long arm quilter that does a great job and than I give them away for someone to use every day NOT for show and please don't put them away unused they last for years and are great.

And I, too, can't imagine paying over $10,000 for a sewing machine - like newest Bernina. |

Also, have a Singer 600 that was my mother's but don't use it.

I have: Brother 1500 two Janomes Four vintage Singers including FW, 301, 15 and the first Quantum model. I had the chance to use a brand new top of the line Kenmore and it's fantastic. |
I have a Janome 6600MC bought it almost new someone traded it in with less than a year used. I have a janome serger, janome 350E embroidery machine I bought in August. A janome gold for travel. A Bernina 830 not sure if I'm keeping a lady wants to sell it but missing the cord. I finally found one. An old New home that my sister in law did not want. And in search of a feather weight. I just fell in love with those little machines. Very satisfied with what I have, but hoping sometime before I retire I can buy a long arm.
