It doesn't make sense and they need to fire their proof reader. Or hire one.

I found this article by someone who did a lot of research on sewing machines. The title explains a lot. Very extensive if you have the time to read it all. This was written in 2007 but I'm sure a lot of this article is very true.

Singer, Viking and Pfaff are now owned by the same company - SVP Worldwide.

That is a fabulous article! Thank you so much for posting it. It really cleared up a lot of stuff for me - I've been researching online a lot and was never quite able to connect the dots on who makes what and where the line is between big box vs low end vs high end. This pretty much cleared that up for me.

Well I own a Babylock and it is supposed to be the pow end of Brother. I was told when I bought it which was about 15 years ago or so , it has been a good machine. It is an Esanta ESe2 it does embroidery too. They made a Brother that was supposed to be the same thing only more expensive. I also have an Elna 740 which I was told is made by Janome now. I guess we never know who makes it, lol....I just buy what I like and know is a good machine, I love Husqvarnia Brands and that is what I buy now. I think there are many good machines and we have to choose what is best for us. It is also important how you care for your machine. That being said if you like Brother then buy Brother. I think the letter was meant to mean, make sure it is a Brother not one just made by Brother.

A lot of big companies produce their products under different labels. Same machine, same peaches etc as big name brand often using the store label. Goes back to the saying ...you pay for the name. But always do your research

so that's why my moms 1960 brother feet interchange perfectly with my 1990s Kenmore and my 2010 Janome!

Years ago Kenmore machines were from many different manufacturers, as were their fridges and stoves. Don't know about that now.
