So, so far i am happy as a clam in July with my featherweights ,Singer 221's , all three of them .....,they take turns, for seams and simple sewing as fabric onto a paper...and other adventures.<br />Then , I am SO happy with my two vintage Berninas, a 708 and a refurbished Bernina 830 Record for my free motion sewing, quilting,and heavy layer sewing ...<br />it is a matter of finding a machine that will help you do the art that is on your mind and the tips of your fingers...and that is not known until you do the research, as in put your butt in the chair and sew. sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879764714948869488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555143565211060055.post-4982437798208677902015-01-19T21:33:39.820-08:002015-01-19T21:33:39.820-08:00I agree with you.my mom had a small portable Singe...I agree with you.my mom had a small portable Singer which thankfully I kept. She made all my dresses on it and also the drapes for the house. When married our first payment plan was for a heavy Singer. Gave to the grandkids. I bought the Pfaff 1467 when I started quilting and am still using it. Bought the 2058 but "fight" with it, to much computer stuff. Hate to read the book for every change. My hubby bought the 1300 Brothers also long time ago, because I looked at it at a quilt show. I have to be careful what I ask questions about when he goes to the shows with me. Good for free motion quilting, good basic machine. And yes there are others Inreally would like, perhaps the Sweet 16, but for the price I can have a professional quilt the big ones. Enjoyed your story and yes one needs to really try them all out before buying. Vivian Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760364319705013669noreply@blogger.com
