I was gifted with a new, updated sewing machine, but I can't tell you what it is because part of the deal is that I have to pick it out myself. This will be the first sewing machine I've had a chance to choose. Up until now, I used my mother's sewing machine until it died; and then my Great Aunt died and left me her machine, and I've since inherited two more machines, only 1 of which is still working. I'm going to take my time searching for this Beauty of a Christmas present! I want to try out virtually every brand on the market before I make a "final decision". Yeah!
