Geeze, Miriam - 40 or 50 tables! How in the world do you store that many tables? I know you have a shop, but that is a lot of tables to fit anywhere! We are currently re-finishing the cabinet my pink Sterling came in for one of my granddaughters who has been using that machine and loves it! I have so many straight stitch only machines that I am really becoming enamored with the Japanese zig zag models like the Sterling and my SewMor! The only problem is those machines are dedicated left hand needle machines, which means you don't have your fabric over all the feed dogs when doing a 1/4" seam! I tried sewing a 1/4" on the Sterling - it works because there are 4 feed dogs - you end up with the fabric only going over 2 of the feed dogs. Has anyone actually done any piecing with one of those Japanese dedicated left needle position machines? I think it can be done, but the fabric might have a tendency to pull sideways?
