Okay I can see now that you all can not see what I am seeing with the machine and I hope that when it is out on the floor for everyone to play with that they will be able to catch the subtle things that make this quite the nice machine. Take some time and really study it and you will know why I want to buy a couple........... And yes this machine will be sought after like the Centennial in a few years.

I think the new Singer looks kind of interesting, but I don't buy machines for what they look like - I buy them for how they sew. New Singer machines have a generally bad reputation, and it will take a lot of convincing me that they have changed that reputation. Until I'm convinced the machine will have quality to last it won't be on my shopping list.

Well like I said I want a couple of them but you and I all know that nothing will ever come between me and my vintage machines. I would pick them over anything plastic anyday.

Besides...the Centenial models don't sell for more than what our moms and grandmoms paid for them...~shrug~ Sewing machines are simply NOT a hot item..look at what we get our old machines for...unless it's rare, and trust me, they'll make enough of these for it not to be rare, sewing machines aren't a smart investment.
Just my two cents.

OK...I'm really not much impressed with the looks!! I'm kinda disappointed. Didn't they go out and ask the vintage lovers for advice? :shock:
I'm not very impressed either. And aren't the machines made by the "new" Singer company not as good? I'm definitely not chomping at the bit to run out & get one. Especially for $500-$600.
Just think of all the cool vintage machines you can purchase with that money!!! :lol:

This reminds me of my daughter's Janome Threadbanger T-30, just that Singer added some different stitches. Nothing special here.

OH MY LET'S DO A PRETEND!!! Look on your local CL and see how many machines you can buy for $500. I wonder who will find the most!
