RE all the comments re my decision over the 237. Y'all may not understand but I've got DMIL (sub darling for darned and monster for mother) coming in about one month AND the room to get cleaned out. I'm pretty sure buying another machine to find a place for will not be helpful for cleaning purposes. I have also thoughfully considered some of the commments about the 237 which have been posted and decided am not truly crazy about getting this machine. What's the saying? Something like "It just doesn't my skirt up." If it were a different machine, I'd be much more eager but as it is I also have a 503 that needs someone more than me to work on it. When I turn it on and try to run the motor, I get a noise but no action. Rather have the 503 fixed before buying a 237.
