I got her from walmart 5 years ago and she runs as beautiful as the day I purchased her and I haven't even serviced her yet and sew on her many different projects. I do have my high end brother as well but my little baby never dissapoints, even with super thick layers she has been a trooper
I must have had the only dud on the shelf then

My first machine was a cute little Brother... I don't remember the model; I had to leave it in NZ when I moved over. Isn't it great that there are so many nice sewing machines out there for everyone's differnt needs and personalities! I love my singer 4423...a real workhorse and quilting partener for me!
