I have a mixture of machines brother, singer, viking etc I just love using different machines for different reasons. I have 2 machines that play games , they are objecting to me dropping them on the floor. They work but some pieces don't.
I still have my grandmothers singer in the wooden stand. Works like a charm just doesn't have the stitches my Bernina does, nor a walking foot. A little before her time. She'd be amazed at all the goodies we have now!
