Alabama bids you welcome to the board. I sew with 4 Singers, 1 Janome, 2 Berninas, 3 Kenmores, 1 Viking and 1 Brother. I guess you can call me an Equal Opportunity User :lol: :lol: I love those vintage machines and rescue them when I can but I've gotten fond of those luxuries also..such as needle up and down, auto threaders and embroidery functions. I want it all :lol:
