Thanks so much for your responses. I belive I'll go try one tomorrow. My DH has been trying to get me to buy a new machine. I have a 1960's Singer Stylist that he purchased for me used in 1983, it still works great but I'm doing 10-12+ quilts a year now and really would like something that could do some decorative stitches and that would work better for FMQ.
I've struggled with wheather to go with a manual machine or a computerized machine. My Mother baught a Computerized Singer when they first came out and she hated it so I didn't want to spend the money and not be satisfied.
Once again thanks so much for your responses.
