"I got so tired of all the pages I had to click on that I finally gave up. Not sure if I'm entered into the contest or not. ("

"I have both types . I use the 40 year old Bernina for free machining to take to workshops as it is light to carry. My Janome 8000 copes with heavy seams, making soft furnishings etc I love the automatic seam finishing that saves time."

"I think that I have a metal machine due to the age of it but it has plastic cams for the fancy stitches. I have had it for nearly 40 years, a Husquarva which my mom had also. Like Mother like Daughter!!!"

"Using both, but prefer the metal one seems to last longer as the wear and tear is not so bad. Plastic parts tend to damage or break too easily"

"I have several of each. Nothing beats an old metal machine and no, you don't have to oil them daily! Did your Daddy own the oil company? I bought a small plastic machine to carry to classes and retreats. Then I won a full size one with the bells and whistles. But the more features, the more there is to break or get out of adjustment. My brother recently bought his wife a new one. The plastic uptake lever broke off before we could even get it set up."
