Thank you for the kind welcome! I received a Kenmore 16231 (
Janome model 11590) a few years ago but it sat unused. I almost gave it away but I'm glad I had a change of heart. It's a very solid machine and heavy!
This year I picked up a
Brother CX310a at a historically low price. It was a one day special. It sews quite nicely and is very easy to use. I also grabbed the
Brother 1034d serger at a bargain. The three machines will hold me in good stead while I learn. And having the added benefit of a serger early on is a plus.
Since I'd like to learn embroidery I've already set my sites on two Bernina models: the 770QEE or 790. I think either model will be ideal for the kind of sewing that I'd like to do and the workhorse that I prefer.
