Hi all
I've just found one of these machines - the 283F which has a curved wooden thingamy (seriously can't think of the name of it right now!!) - but DCThompson, hopefully you will know what I'm talking about. I'm just wondering what you think of the machine in terms of how it sews, does it work well? I can't decide whether to buy it or not. I'm in love with the idea of it, but I'd also like a machine that sews well. I'd love to know your thoughts!
Cheers,
Amelia
