Hi Cashs_mom. Too bad we're so far apart. I'm in the DFW area... Arlington to be exact. Not far from the Cowboy stadium. I have one of my mom's old sewing machines. A Kenmore. Can't remember which model but it's a great machine. I need to take it in for a check up. Last time I used it it was acting up. It is a real workhorse. I've sewn some really heavy fabric on it. It's way past due a visit to Dr. Sew so I'm sure she'll be a lot happier afterwards. Lol. Thanks for the embroidery link. I am definitely checking it out! Thanks for the welcome!
