In a changing technological world, one has to keep up. I upgraded from a machine I bought in 1969--A wonderful, dependable Elna Super. The machine is still good, but it just doesn't offer what the new machines do, so I finally packaged it up and placed in storage. I cried. I love my current machines, but I guess I will always have a soft spot in my heart for my Elna. Yes, I have learned to love again. My Juki 2010Q is reliable and my Janome has exciting features that I really do love.
