I have an idea of your dilemma. I have a Kenmore 158 series machine (my only Kenmore) that was gifted to me in a nice cabinet along with all the cams, some feet, and the pedal. I like the machine but, without a small stitch - smallest is 12 to the inch - I am not going to make quilts on it. I made one, and had to go back and sew over every darn seam or I could have back tacked to begin with. I don't want to do that. It is good for decorative stitches, good for clothes, and people on this site have said what good machines these Kenmores are. I almost gave it away and then couldn't, surprising because I fix and give others away. I don't make clothes all that often, and I do have other machines I could use. I haven't tried to line quilt or fmq on it - has anyone done so on a Kenmore?
So I wonder - why is this such a hard machine to let go? Any ideas?
