Overall tho you need to choose the one that calls to you...
this info helped tip the scales a bit, thanks a bunch

I may finally get one also. My brother just paid me back a loan so, does that justify it??? Now, I'm all excited!!!!
go for it, win, & we'll meet & do the happy dance together, I am so excited

we were talking about the different machines, one I had, ones on my wish list. Told him one day I'd like to have an embroidery machine (drooling over some of the blocks seen on this board) and he was for that. No way am I ready for that, I don't even want to know the cost of one of them

Sorry not looking for a new machine, not my thing. My newest/youngest machine I own bought 10 yrs ago, new Kenmore. Don't know why, hadn't sewn in years and never used it until a couple of years ago. My love is a 3/4 Singer with a bent wood case picked up over 20 yrs ago. Picked up another throttle this past weekend, a Minnesota with a shuttle, but it was the cabinet that drew me, it is gorgeous. Reattach the belt and it's ready to go. :D

I know, thanks :) :)

that makes two of us :shock: It was the reason I showed it, not that I expected to get one; then he said he'd get it for me if that was what I wanted......so the torment began :?
