I was sewing yesterday and I didn't see a pin under the fabric and yesssssssss....it bent the rocker arm! I am so upset and I only have my antique singer to work with and that has been off and on screwing up the stitches.....I still have things to make for gifts.... my hubby before he left for work told me to go shopping for a new sewing machine and that is going to be my gift under the christmas tree! I am thinking of getting one of those new singer sewing machines that Joanne's has and wondering if any one has used one and what you think of them.
