Heehee...I'm still young and impressionable...sometimes...
My mom had a Necchi Supernova that I learned to sew on. My mom now sews with a Bernina 830, the old Bernina 830.
Well, I own some very old machines that I love to sew with( their older than my mom
), and I'm very impressed with their mechanics and quality of stitching. I wish I had learned to sew with them instead....so simple and sweet...got to love those vintage old ladies.
