I was 'seduced' into buying a computerized machine when I first started quilting, Husqvarna Orhidea, I only ever used it as a mechanical machine, knew nothing about computers! Rarely used the embroidery attachment!! 3 years ago traded it for Sapphire 870 which I much prefer!! I just need a good workhorse!!! Love to see all the wonderful work produced on computerized machines, just not for me!!! Would love to treat myself to a Featherweight next!!!! I can dream can't I???
