They do just way too much stuff. Also, I think they are a bit delicate compared to the old Singer which has handily sewn everything from pleather to silk chiffon without problems. I'm more than a bit wary of all the computerized machines, also, because of obsolescence. One of my mom's friends jumped on the computerized Bernina bandwagon back in the 1980s and of course that machine is no longer being serviced and the electronics have gone all haywire. Vi (my mom's friend) still has her old Singer which is akin to mine and is still working great for her, long after the computerized Bernina gave up the ghost. I think she has another more modern machine, but I think she's avoiding the computer-chip machines these days, too. I can’t imagine living with some of the new wonder-machines.

I too am still discovering things about my 10 year old machine. Imagine........... some of the new machines have over 400 stitches to explore. Thanks for that.
