On the advice of a service engineer, I bought a Chinese sewing machine at about a third of the cost of one allegedly made in Europe.
It was well made, and ran like the proverbial for a month or two.
The the needle bar - the bit that goes up and down doing the actual sewing - snapped.
It had been over hardened, and was brittle.
Spares might be available in a year or so.
It took all my bodging skills to keep it running until then.
'Tis a pity, most of it was fine.
