Wow, I did not realize they had been around for that long. It's a shame about no rentals... men can rent just about any piece of machinery they want for doing stuff around the house--- up to and including back hoes. I think that lack of sewing machine rental is discrimination against women! We need to rise up, ladies, and ..... and..... well..... express our indignation! ;) The demand probably fell off is my guess.
