Good BASIC Machine
I have had my Singer 1120 for almost 10 years. This machine is great for light-weight sewing projects but not for heavier projects, because it cannot handle thread thicker than the general multi-purpose thread used for cotton projects. It actually shreds heavy-duty thread and tends to break needles on heavier projects regardless of size or age. When overworked or the tension is off or the sun and moon aren't aligned properly, the bobbin gets tangled up, breaking your needle again. It is however, great to travel with since it is so light. For a beginner or someone working on lighter projects, go for it! If you are an experienced seamstress, this machine will cause blinding fits of rage. Approach with patience and coffee.
