Might want to reconsider Singer sewing machines. Rose bought a 111-154 over 30 years ago. It was more than 50 years old at the time. With all metal parts its a smooth running machine with rare repair issues. Its an industrial work horse. Sews any type upholstery weight fabric including canvas and leather with no problem. Only thing I wish it had is reverse. It has a clutch motor but a servo could easily be added.
