I have recently come into a Bernette 46, a small, very basic machine. It doesn't have many bells and whistles, including the knee lift and automatic thread cutter, two features which I use all the time. I am really attached to the features of my Brother NX6500, which has these features. Perhaps I could use this for a raffle or quilting garage sale for the OMQG. My question is what do you all use a second machine for? I could use it to take to classes and whatnot, I suppose. My question is what do you all use a second machine for?
Do you have a niece or grandchild interested I sewing? I gave my GD a used basic elna I found in pristine condition on Craigslist. She was interested in learning to sew. She has it set up next to her moms on a little table.
