Sewing machines

sigh. I started browsing on-line. It's hard to find reviews that aren't sponsored by the mfrs. I don't want a computer in my sewing machine. I would hate to get a virus.. can you imagine a machine that only did seams in a pattern that said "F*ck You"? or some other nonsense? I just got my PC virus free.. I shudder to think of my sewing machine falling victim to some clever jerks with nothing better to do that make seamstresses and tailors cry. I also totally don't need fancy machine's to do embroidery for me.

Me = luddite.

I read up on the Singer HD-110 and liked it. It goes forward, backward, zig-zag and does button-hole. Luddite, luddite, luddite. I was eyeballing the treadle machine, but decided it hasn't been too risky to be on the grid just enough to power my machine. heh. But none o' dat fancy com-pew-tur stuff.

Feedback?

On one website this particular model fell under the category of "moving parts are all metal"...but I can always call the local Singer dealer and ask him to get one for me to test drive.
