Hi everyone, I love to read about the different brands of machines you all own and how you have your favourites. What intrigues me is that I have never read about anyone on the QB owning or using any industrial machines. Mine are industrial and I wouldn't be without them. They make a huge difference in the time spent sewing and are so much easier as the head of the machine is set into a four foot by two foot bench which gives so much more flat usable work space. The foot treadle, which is about ten inches by twelve inches is firmly attached to the base of the bench and doesn't slip away and hide if you take your eyes off it. It is always there for you ready and waiting like a faithful puppy . The bench for each machine is the same height and same dimensions so they can be butted up to each other which increases your workspace tenfold. You can have an automatic backtack and trimmer (this cuts your threads off or not (your choice) with the press of a preset button). The benches can be arranged back to back and end to end so that what we sew doesn't keep going only to end up on the floor on the other side. I am not trying to convert anyone but you would not believe the difference in what you can sew in a day. You don't have to pick your scissors up to trim any threads off.
Enough from me or I will have a sore bum from being kicked off the Board. I couldnt handle that, my sanity only hangs in because of the Quilting Board and my daily dose of all of you. I can barely walk so cannot get out and rely on you all so much. Thanks for your companionship and all your interesting topics. LoL Gleniveve
