Lucky you and having so many choices of machines to sew with!!!

MarySews 08-15-2011 09:18 AM

I am almost as excited as you -- I just found a Featherweight in my basement. After my aunts passed on, I emptied their house and took some things, moved other things along. That was quite a few years ago. Then last week, I decided to go into every box in my basement -- VOILA! Perfect condition.
I am doing a happy dance -- it makes allthe cleaning worthwhile.

Lucky!! Congrats!!

grandmafay 08-15-2011 01:05 PM

I have been wanting a new one as well.....i'm glad someone can get one...:-). I do have a good machine, a Singer XL1000, but never have used the embrodiry feature. It doesn't have the feature of the USB port to download patterns from the internet though, wishfull thinking. I also have an older singer i bought in the 1980s and used it a lot. also have a Baby Lock Surger, self threading(love that feature). I have been wanting to find an embellishing machine but can't find a good deal yet...maybe will try Ebay? Anyone out there know where to look ?

My new Baby will join my other machines (Singer 66 Treadle, Jamone 4900QC, Janome Horizon and Brother 4000D) on Friday.

I guess after this one arrives I won't be able to go down the new machine route for a little while!

Oh I am so excited I can't wait until she arrives!

Hugs and thanks for listening!

Oh you are so fortunate! I have a 10 year old Janome 6125QC and after much deliberation recently bought a 4900QC but I would have loved a Bernina with stitch regulator. My husband thinks it is extravagant having two machines, although I am now considering selling both and getting a Bernina, but I will have to find the difference. I hope you get lots of pleasure and creativity with your new machine.

A1penny 08-16-2011 01:51 AM

I wish I DIDN'T NEED a stitch regulator, but it would make my life 'SEW' much easier. I just can't justify to myself buying a new machine.....I have
FIVE. One is a Bernina Artista 180 which was the top of the line YEARS ago. I still love sewing on it, but the new machines have improved so much it isn't funny.
Congratulations....and many, many REGULAR stitches to you! May you become a REGULAR stitcher maven!

Sienna's GiGi 08-16-2011 04:54 AM

Hubby is a keeper and congrats on your new machine.

mjhaess 08-16-2011 08:20 AM

I have a bernina 185 that I got for Christmas 1985. I was working as a travel nurse and never got time to take lessons or learn to use it. I have tried for a year since I am retired now to find someone to give me lessons but am told each time that since it is an old machine there is no one to teach me. Thought of trading it off but that would be a kick in the pants. It cost near six thousand dollars new. It has never been used.....Maybe one day I will find someone to teach me. I have an Elna air-electronic and an old 1938 singer that still out sews the Elna. I use both of them all the time.

Enjoy

Kyle's mem 08-18-2011 02:04 AM

good for you hve fun it's like we never have enough machines I know some girls who hae a one and they just love them let us know how you like it.enjoy.

joycet 08-25-2011 09:14 AM

Congratulations!!! Lucky you. Your husband is a keeper!! LOL I've been looking at the 830's but hubby has already told me he's bought is last sewing machine, embroidery machine and quilting machine..darn!!!! VBG..I have a number of sewing machines. My newest is an electronic Elna I paid $12 for at a yardsale. BEfore that it was a Babylock Quilter's Edition. I have several vintage machines..mostly Singers. He bought me one of the small embroidery machines from WM a few years ago. I gave it to my dil and bought a pre-owned..don't you love that instead of used??? ha ha....Brother Pacesetter 8500. So unless I get a job...highly unlikely since I"ve worked in almost 31 years guess getting another machine is out of the question

judyjudyjudy 08-26-2011 05:44 PM

hurrah for your husband -- and how wonderful for you. :)
