Thanks for the advice ladies. I couldn't justify spending 60.00 on my newer machine when I didn't pay much more than that for it in the first place, so I had my old Kenmore serviced and I'm using it for now. The drawbacks are that the bobbin is underneath and not as easy to change. It's a very heavy machine so will limit the classes that I will be attending. I definitely won't be lugging this one around much. I don't have a quarter inch foot for it and I'm finding it difficult to adjust to sewing a good seam allowance without one. Anyone know where I can get a quarter inch foot for a thirty something yr old Kenmore?
I'm definitely in the market for a new machine, but will hold off for now. I want a good machine with a deep throat and I'm going to shop around. If I can find a good used one, that's probably what I will go for. Unless I hit the big lottery, in which case I'm buying top of the line and a gammill quilter to boot....lol. It's fun to dream eh?
