I think this comparison ended up conflating a few things, comparing an entry level mechanical machine with a mid-high end computerized machine. Some of the features were mechanical-vs-computerized but some of them were just entry level vs upscale.
Mechanical for me every time, and preferably vintage at that.
I have 4 machines atm.
Black Singer 99K hand crank in mint condition. Straight stitch only, but no issue to me. Sews like a dream.
Grey Singer 217 with zig zag. Incredible work horse and so smooth and quiet. Beautiful.
Husqvarna 19E zig zag. Exquisite machine, and impeccable Swedish engineering and gorgeous design.
Lastly a bit more modern Janome 626 with great variety of stitches.
Each cost well under $300.00. How much are these computerised models and will they still be running in 40, 50, 80 (my Singer 99K) years time. No thanks. Besides, I want to actually experience the joy of real sewing, not pressing a pile of buttons and having everything automated. Just my opinion.
Vintage all the way 💞👏✨
I agree with this video!! I have some modern and many vintage machines. I love the durability of my vintage & the variety some have. I do also love my modern Juki as she flies!! But yet sews quietly like my vintages do.
Hi Corrine, how's your day going with you?
I sew mostly dresses and vests for grandkids. I love my computerized machines. I do basic cleaning and take them in once a year for maintenance. I've never had a problem.
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Nanette, how's your day going with you?
Mechanical all the way. But if I’m making basic clothing I need a machine with more computerized features.
I love them all. My biggest complaint regarding computerized machines is that when they go Kaput they are done. I have 3 at over $1500 each, 2 of them Kaput. What I sew on is a 1952 Singer Featherweight, and a Brother 1500, both straight stitch only. Both fixable, dependable, and sturdy. I did slipcovers for a living.
The Featherweight is a dream!!
Hi Jane, how's your day going with you?
I have both mechanical and computerize.
You can get heavy Duty mechanical machines and maintenance is much easier & cheaper
I chose mechanical. Electronics can fail. Mechanical can last 100 years!
This is a good point!
I prefer mechanical. I have used both. Mechanical wins.
Hi Teresa, how's your day going with you?
