The Touch 'n Sews get bad raps. But I love mine, have sewed miles and miles on it, made countless clothing, kids costumes, bridesmaids dresses, other wedding clothes, curtains, square dance dresses and shirts, and yes, net petticoats! in short, everything I sew. It's been in the shop once in all that time, and that only recently.
So I congratulate you on your gift!
