My advice, look for a machine that has metal parts. Too many new - and expensive- machines are plastic inside.

Fortunately I took the Brother to another dealer who instead of trying to sell me another machine-looked a the machine and stated he could have it fixed. AND Yes Lady you are so correct-Wish I could find an old Kenmore like I had years ago for all my garment making, and wish I could find a really good machine for quilting..

Riccar sewing machine

I have this riccar sewing machine but I don't have a manual for it...does anyone know where I can get one?

Have you searched on line ? I would Google "Riccar model 290F owner manual-free" You should get some sites to follow up on--there are lots of free sewing machine manuals for free in PDF for download.

I have a Babylock Quilters Choice (1st generation -all white), but find myself sewing mainly on my $500 Kenmore. It has more stitches than the BL which cost three times as much and has given me absolutely no trouble -no birds nests, no jamming, no needle breaking no matter what I sew through! I think this Kenmore was actually built by Janome, but since I wasn't paying for the name, I got a much better deal. So sad they have discontinued the Kenmore line!

One of my Brother machines recently died (and I do mean that -literally sewed it in the ground according to the tech!LOL, had that one for 10 years) So DH said buy a new good machine (not a mass manufactured one! Love the Brother's tho!!) So I started looking but OHMYgoodness - 12K for a Janome (memory craft 12000)blows my mind. Although I do like the Memory Craft 11000 for 6K, and the bigger throat area for quilting. So many machines and so much fabric to make quilts, garments etc with .....

So ideas ? Please, give me your good, bad and recommendations (I can handle it !LOL) What is your favorite machine for the money and why ? Thank you for your input (as I do realize each machine is a personal item to each quilter/ sewer) and for your time to respond.

To the person asking about the Riccar. Mine of 15 years just broke & can't be fixed & I am lost without it. I purchased a second hand janome that I am not crazy about so I went searching for a riccar dealer & found one. I am calling them tomorrow to get some prices. I hope that helps you because I am lost without my riccar.

To the person who asked about the Riccar. mine of 15 years just broke & can't be repaired & I am lost without it. So I am going to start researching for a dealer. I hope this helped. I really liked the machine.
