I figured it was an April Fool joke. One who invests in machines is not going to give up on a passion. I had an uncle who had a passion for vintage cars but always traded in for a new one every 3-5 years. Couldn't do without the AC or Heat or stereo.

I forgot about which day it is.

I can't argue too hard against the good quality machines that are still being made. I can't even comment too much on the price. After all, the vintage machines we buy were very expensive when they were new too. The low end Walmart stuff is still not worth looking at though.

This is obviously an April fools joke. If not then those of us close to INDY need to head there to do a raid on Miriams shop. All those goodies sure don't need to be scrapped do they?


On the serious side, those computerized Kenmore Sensor Sew machines are junque. I have one and a parts machine, unless someone who is a computer wiz gets them it will never sew again. I hate it. Been trying to figure out a way to dispose of them that doesn't cost me.

And those machines that have a sewing machine on one end and a serger on the other end, another Rube Goldberg gadget that is an answer to a question never asked.

That's the beauty of thrift stores. Donate them as parts only. That or wait until you are going near a scrap yard anyway and drop them off. they may not pay but it won't cost you either.

I wouldn't mind stumbling across one of those combo units just for the novelty factor. I always go for the unusual stuff.

I was brewing you a cup of very strong, hot tea, and inviting you over until I realized this must be an April Fool's Day thread.

While I do love my Pfaff coverlock serger and my computerized Bernina 230, I double-love piecing on the Pfaff 130 and I can't wait to make "something" on the newest/old Singer 15-91. I had to unwrap it last night for another sneak peak, then I had to rewrap it for dust protection.

I bit on that hook, line, sinker, and was working my way down the fishing pole to the reel.
