My quilting friends keep asking me why I don't have a new does everything machine like they have. They are nice and I have considered buying one just about every time I go to the dealers. LOL. I then tell myself 95% of my sewing is straight stitch. I have an older Bernina that makes a great stitch, does some fancy stitches and a small alphabet. I have a Brother 1500 that machine quilts perfectly. I have a FW because every quilter has one or wants one. I have a 301 that sews anything. I have two Janomes Jems that are great for workshops and sewing with kids. I have a Singer 15-99 that I use for paper piecing and free hand machine embroidery. I would rather have a machine that does one job great then one machine that does all the jobs so so. And no big maint. fee if something goes wrong.
