    Which machine do you use?

    I have to share something. I just got a new Baby Lock Journey and what an incredible machine it is. Sewed on it today for the first time. I think I have died and gone to heaven!
    Here is my question; which machine do you favor and why?

    I love both my Berninas - the newer 750 and the older 830! For different reasons, of course. The 830 purrs like a kitten and makes lovely straight stitches. The 750 has a wide throat, a thread cutter (love!), and can make lots of ornamental stitches. I also have a featherweight that I like to take to classes because it's so light and it also makes terrific straight stitches. Now if I could only stitch a straight seam!

    I love my Bernina for a nice buttonhole stitch and others, needle down feature, needle threader, LED lighting and my Bernina stitch regulated for FMQ.
    I love my Singer treadle for stitching denim, leather and canvas.

    ​I use different machines love my bernina for piecing. But swop to juki with a larger throat for quilting.

    love my little, light weight viking which I take to class unless doing blanket stitch.

    I forgot to mention I have a Featherweight which I use for our quilting bee, and a couple of Singer 301s
    Hello from Shenandoah Valley, VA. Quilting a few years. Love the process of creating the quilt top, but don't like making the sandwich of top, batting and backing as much. We have two Labrador Retrievers, a yellow and a chocolate. Blessings to all!

    I love my Bernina 1530. Bought it new and I still love it.
    A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

    I use my old singer 15 a lot and my Janome 6500. I have several machines and jump around on them depending on what I am doing. I also use my 403 singer.
