The real question would be, would you use all the extra bells and whistles? I think about a tailor I've done business with for quite a few years. He has an old Singer machine with no digital readouts, no fun attachments, etc. But you should see the high quality, custom work he does for some of his clients (original men's suits in fine fabrics, designed and sewn by him)--all with his old, basic Singer.

The tailor at the clothing store is the same, and he does awesome work.
Old, basic sewing machine, etc.. :)

My pop will be 83 on Jan. 1st, and is quite a bit different.
Both my folks were raised on farms in south-central Texas, so they still cling to some older fashioned ways, but, they've also learned to roll with the times to a large degree, due to love, compassion, and understanding.
I have 3 younger siblings - 2 brothers, one 18 mo. younger than myself and the other 5 yrs. younger, and a 12 yr. younger sis.
All 3 of us boys never completed 4 years of college and my folks paid for all 4 years for our sis to get a degree.
I just never felt college was right for me, at the time.
Both brothers started, but, never finished.
Sis finished with a degree in fashion merchandising.
Funny thing is, we're all successful - in different ways...
I'm a designer for an architectural firm, next youngest bro and his wife own a medical supply company, youngest bro is an IT guy for the state, and sis is a stay-at-home mom. :)

I'm in deep, deep trouble! I called the store where I got my last sewing machine from and now I'm thinking about going one model up from the one I was thinking about:hilarious: It has even better reviews and it has a bunch of Disney embroidery designs built in. It's still $200 less than I spent on my last machine. Is there any chance any of you will try and talk me out of it? LOL

Well, my dad is a product of his generation. It's the way he was taught and brought up to believe. When he starts spewing nonsense, I just bite my tongue because I know he's not going to change and he's old...I don't know how many more years I'll have him here, so I don't want to fight with him about things like that. I don't like how he thinks, but my whole childhood, I had a horrible relationship, almost NO relationship with him. Now that I'm older and have forgiven him, I won't waste the little time we have left arguing. So I try to change the subject. It's just not worth fighting about.

the problem is is that some people actively think like that, even if they were not "taught the old way".
