Unless there are specific features of one machine or the other that makes it better for that particular class, I would take the one I feel most comfortable taking along.
For me that is my featherweight. It is my favorite machine, sews beautifully, is easy to transport and not likely to be "bothered" by being moved around. |

Agree with this. What features do you need for the class project. Take the one you want to use and is easy to transport. I have 4 machines. The lightweight small machine that's easy to move and does most stitches. The straight stitch, semi-industrial with a great harp space, very dependable. The standard size zig-zag with lots of bells and whistles. The Bernina 830 with embroidery attachments, it does everything but it's heavy and large. When I'm teaching at the Bernina store, I take a Bernina or sew on one of their's. Traveling and piecing, I take the lightweight machine. If I'm quilting I take the "great harp space". Want to learn how to use a particular machine, I take that machine. And I love wheels. I have a case for each machine and don't carry them, I wheel them. I'll even park to use ramps so I don't have to carry them. |
