And I still have an older laptop that runs my software (have full design package).
Works for me, would love to have a Diamond, I could design some really kickin' stuff with that size design field, but its not in the cards with that price. My D1 is still pluggin' along, and I do a lot with it. Have the Sapphire 850 also for larger throat to FMQ (10" throat like the 875 / Diamond). Don't think I can go back to the baseline machines, except for the new treadle we just got (1906 Model 27 ~ got my belt just have to get her cleaned up and oiled and I think she's ready to sew)
(BTW I do have a Singer Futura 150 that does embroidery for when my D1 is in for service ~ it gets the job done, but is soooo slow and frustrating to work with)
