machine died, need a cheap/good one

Hi Lynnie,
I know they sell machines at hancockfabrics.com or if you have a hancock store near you, you could go and look what is on sale. They often put them on sale, so you might luck out. I bought one on HSN once, off the t.v. during their craft day sale. A Janome quilter's edition. It was a really nice machine and the specialty feet were so reasonable to buy. Just a thought.

I agree! It has an adjustable buttonhole/blanket stitch as well as "regular" zz. I've done some applique with it and like it very much.

I'm pretty sure it will be lightweight. I don't think the Brother I mentioned is available at the store, only online. But it will be free shipping or pickup at store possibly. And you can return it if you hate it.

The Walmart Brother that was mentioned with a link is super for the $150. price. I bought it online, delivered to Alaska, back to Okla. and I use it all the time. Has needle down, dogs down and mine came with the extended table and feet and about 60 stitches. Meanwhile my $600. fairly new Singer sits in the corner waiting to go for repair again!

I really like my Janome New Home JW7630, it is manufactured for WalMart and costs $299.99. After I saw it at my local Walmart, I checked it out on line. It had really good reviews. I enjoy the speed control, needle up/down and other features not on my vintage machines. It is easy to use.
