I had to laugh at your comment, as I just finished a class with a table mate that had an old machine that she ran 100 miles an hour - it was noisy and bounced my little featherweight inches into the air. Needless to say my seams weren't as nice as I had hoped. Fortunately that was just an evening class and not a retreat that I had paid $$ to attend.
