Is this Good
#31
I bought a Kenmore machine about 35 years ago and gave it to my daughter who still uses it. My next purchase about 15 years ago was a Babylock. That machine is wonderful, have never had a problem with it. I also have a Hummer (featherweight) that I use all the time for repetitive sewing (strips). I am now looking for a machine that has lots of features that I don't have, but in the end I may keep the Babylock in mind when I buy a new one. As the other quilter suggested, try them out. You will ultimately make a choice and I'm sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Sew with it ,if you don't like it, take it back and get another!!

When I bought a sewing machine about 18 years ago, I bought a New Home machine. It is all metal gears but I've heard that the company has been sold to another company so I can't really recommend a newer sewing machine from them.
