Having used my nieces machine for the last couple years I was told she would love it back so I had been dreading the day I would be without! This week my dear friend went out and purchased a new Kenmore machine for me as a moving gift and I love it to pieces. Its not a fancy machine think it has 100 stitches I will never use so I didnt need fancy. It could have been 20 yrs old and a tag sale machine and honestly I would have loved it if it worked. It was like Christmas in January for me.
