Question

What are the developments in the sewing machine model?

Answer 1

there is a marked trend away from mechanical machines and into electronic machines.  The makers seem to be trying to supply a "mega machine" that will do everything, but this is leading them into mediocrity, as most of the newest machines will do everything, poorly.  There is also a trend to use more plastic and nylon in the machines, which is causing machines to be less durable.
