A Husqvarna 630
About 20 years ago I was told I 'wore out' my Singer, so I bought this because I was told there was no plastic in it to ear out. Not fancy. I do what my parents taught me, to make do with what I have. I have done so much with this machine, worked on so many projects, the kids were babies, now they're adults. I haven't worn it out yet

I piece on my Bernina Artista 730 or my Husqvarna Viking 500. The majority of my quilts are completed with my Viking Mega Quilter on a Hinterberg frame. Small projects get quilted on the Bernina...love that BSR stitch regulator!

I am glad to hear someone pieces on their 730! My other post was related to asking how ladies like the 9mm feed dogs when piecing...does it create a problem for you or do you get very accurate 1/4 inch seams easily? Do you have to move the needle or anything?Thanks and love all the replies!!!
