Fran, I am still singing the wonders of a Kenmore 158: series. Replaced my Beloved of over 30 years with a Pfaff "Jeans and satin". The pfaff really has lived up to its hype and does not require a transition period between fibers...just like the Kenmore of the '70s. But for rugged costume mileage, it was always at MY beck and call. Picked up a free arm last month on e-Bay that never saw much sewing even though it was advertised as used. While searching, came across a number of them New and some with cases for about $200. My original one (1972) had key cams that I seldom used...but I love the button-holer, also with keys Great when you need to make dozens! Kathleen
If that's the Pfaff 6192, I can't find any new ones. I am looking only for a new machine. I don't have time to shop for old machines, fix them, get rid of the unfixable ones, etc., I know old machines are a great hobby for some, but I'm not interested in that. And yes, I've had a workhorse Kenmore, and I've had a great early electric, and I've had a treadle, and they were all good machines--but I still want a new machine. I want to buy one within the next few days.
