Like some of the PPs, I use different machines on occasion. When we RV, I generally take my little Featherweight. I also take it to classes where I will only be piecing. When I need decorative stitches or work at home, I use my trust Bernina 440. The big issue is seam allowances. Even a tiny difference can make a big impact when multiplied by all the seams. I ended up standardizing on the scant 1/4" on my Bernina (two click right, edge of fabric along the #1 foot). Then I took a seam from the Bernina and adjusted a large plexiglass seam guide for the Featherweight to match it exactly. Voila! Equal seam allowances.
