Experiences switching between machines
I have a computerized machine, but I recently used a more basic one, and I found it very difficult. The worst problem was that I kept forgetting to put the foot down! I remember when I first got my computerized machine, I sort of missed some of the familiar things I no longer had to do or did differently, but I quickly got used to them, and now I’m not sure I can do without them. It’s like getting a bigger TV and looking at the perfectly good 19” TVs we had for decades and thinking that they are way too small.
I’ve been thinking about getting a second / travel machine, and I’m trying to figure out how hard it would be to go back and forth between my current machine and one that operates a lot differently. I’m sure I could adjust if I used the second machine a lot, but I don’t anticipate that. I would want to use it for travel and when my main machine is in the shop, but probably not a lot otherwise.
I’d like to hear people’s experiences with switching between machines, especially two that are really different. Easy? Hard? Hard at first then easy? Please share!
