You must go to Ikea.com and just check out this store!! I have an Ikea 45 minutes away here on Long Island, and shop there as often as my purse will allow. They have an interesting variety of fabrics. I recently purchased 15 yards of my favorite print and completely re-decorated my lower level family room which includes an 'L' which I use for my sewing studio. As for Ikea's furniture, three weeks ago I replaced my 25 year old Ikea twin floor-to-ceiling wardrobes for two high dressers from their Hemnes series. These new, very large dressers are well constructed, easily assembled and cost only $249 each (on sale). I also purchased the matching nightstands. We still use our 22 year old Ikea wicker head/foot board queen sized bed. It's holding up extremely well for its age. I must also note that both my daughters (now 28 and 22) have taken their own Ikea bedroom furniture with them as they left the nest. Those furniture pieces are at least 15 years old and still look as good as the day I brought them home. Of course, my girls take good care of their belongings and did not 'rough house'. If you do not have an Ikea nearby, I could not suggest you purchase online and have your items shipped as their shipping charges are astronomical!!! Better to visit the store and enjoy the experience. I hope you get to do that someday soon. I know you will not be disappointed!!QUOTE=AshleyR;5252873]Jacquie, I know this isn't what you asked, but last night, during my cruising the information superhighway, I found this: http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Brother-LS2300PRW-Limited-Edition-Project-Runway-Sewing-Machine-Refurbished/6475242/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&adtype=pla&kw={keyword}
I don't even know what Ikea is, so I can't help you with your original question! But I thought this was a sweet deal and am considering buying one for myself as a back up and it might be a good machine for the girls. Good for you to teach them![/QUOTE]
