wow, all of this is good info. You will always find supporters for every kind of machine, and that is as it should be. We all like different things.
That is why it is soooo important to take YOUR OWN fabrics of different weights to the store with you. Prism99 is right.
crashnquilt...just my humble opinion, but I would be quaking in my boots, to put over 300 hours on one of my machines, without a tune-up, clean-up, but you know what your doing. :wink:
I can't afford to replace my machine, even with homeowner's insurance, and don't know if it covers, daily usage and wear and tear.
I'd be forced to 'rough it'. I am completely spoiled rotten to the core, now, and don't want to go back...no, no...you can't make me....I won't... :cry: (phew....what a bad dream!) I've got a lot to be thankful for :D Going to hug my machine, now.:D
