A longarm machine that dosnt take up the whole room but you can still program quilting designs into. Also cheaper prices on all things quilting.

Definately a BIGGER bobbin. and a longer arm.

I'm sure I could come up with more, but that's it for now.
these are all good

In addition to everything else mentioned, I'd like a computerized machine that *remembers* where my needle position was when I turned it off.

I'd wish for the machines to be lower to the table - so that you didn't NEED an extension table or a special table or a built up area around it. Like, why can't the machines be about 1/2 inch high instead of 3 inches or whatever they are?

Here's all I have so far (for sewing anyway, the list for my husband is a little longer...lol)

I wish they'd make a home sewing machine:

1. with a bobbin area that could hold a regular spool of thread

2. that never needed maintenance (I know that's impossible but I still wish for it)
You may not believe this, but I was just saying that same thing to my sister a few days ago. Who the heck invented the bobbin??!!

I've been saying this for years to every sewing machine dealer I meet - please tell your companies that we NEED A MACHINE THAT CAN UN-SEW!
