It is a Kenmore He knows I like them, It is not the most expensive. Didn't want one of those. A computer one so I will have to watch my magnets. The older heaver one still haveing the dogfeed problem. Kinda know what it is. It happens when I use the reverse. So My old baby goes in the shop and my new baby I get to play with. The model is 385.19110. I am so happy I was dreading putting the old baby in the shop and having nothing put the treadle which needs work also.

Congrats on your new machine ~ what a wonderful gift and DH. Have fun playing with it and we can't wait to see the lovely work you create with it! Merry Christmas!

Congrats! Can you post a pic of it? I have 2 kenmores.

A caring hubby and a new machine. Can't get much better than that.

WOO HOO What a keeper your DH is :mrgreen: Enjoy learning / playing with the new machine

What a thoughtful gift! And, what a nice guy you have.

My Dh bought me a Kenmore back in the early 80's after we got married. I made ALOT of baby clothes for my son. Pulled it out the other day, cleaned it up a bit and my son used it to make his girl a pillow. It still runs like a dream and decided to keep it out
CONGRATS on your new one. I'd love to see a picture.

Your hubby knows what is good! I walked into a thrift store just before Christmas because you'll never know what you'll find, and there was an older but well taken care of Kenmore sewing machine. I snatched it up because I know people who love to sew for Project Linus and do not have a machine. A friend uses my extra sewing machine and sews up a storm for Project Linus.The Kenmore sews beautifully and today I'll get a walking foot for it, (it came with the quarter inch foot), extra needles, oil ,etc. and she can continue to sew up a storm for kids! Those machines are workhorses! Congrats on yours!

Glad you got something you wanted and your hubby is definately a keeper.

Oh congrats...I have 2 Kenmore's and i love them they sew so nice and smooth...you will love it. Can't wait to see what you create on it.

Congrats. I have two computer machines and have had no problem with the magnets near the machines. Enjoy. You have to make he something new.

What do the magnets do? I want to get me a computerized machine also.....these tips are good to know even if they don't affect the machine or not it's good to know.
I know if your cell phone sits next to your computer or you use it close to it your pc can crash.....doesn't happen every time but it can. Isn't the tech world wonderful.....LOL

My first machine was a Singer - had it for 32 years, bought the Janome DC3050 in 11/07(which are now not going to be made anymore)and just purchased the Janome 4900 Memory Craft. It is great when we can actually USE the gifts we receive. Congratulations, and can't wait to see what you make!

Not excatly sure about magnets, but I think they can erase or cause serious damage to computer machines

Not real sure about magnets, but I think they can erase or cause serious damage to computer machines.
Just to be safe don't lay a magnet on the machine.
I have a magnet to pick up dropped pins that I keep
in a cup along with marking pens and pencils.

Ditto....ditto....ditto!

Yep I can, Also the older one which I decided to use for quilting. The new computer one for sewing like the pjs for Christmas.. and just for the heck of it I put a pic. of my NewHome Treadle. HeH Can't make the Jealous of each other now can I. LOL

This is my NewHome

congrats on your new sewing machine my hubby bought me a Kenmore for Christmas 2 years ago and i am in love with it also

So glad to hear about your new machine! I know you will enjoy it. About the New Home--I heard that the New Home is now Janome. Maybe some of you know more about that.

Also wishing everyone a wonderful new year! 2010, hard to believe.

I agree with you 100% ReRe April 7,2010 it will be 49 years. So I guess I will just keep him forever.

What fun, new machine and a lovely caring husband! You are blessed!

What a great gift (not to mention hubby). I'm so happy for you. I have a circa 1962 Kenmore that someone gave me. It has all those cams - runs like it's brand new.

I have the new kenmore that you have. I have had mine now for about 3 years. I really like mine. What I want to get is an embrobiery machine. Hopefully next year for Christmas.

God things happen look at me, Didn't know at all he was going to do that. He did know what I wanted saw me looking at it several times when we went to sears. you might want to try that,go to where the machine you want is and just mention wow that is what I would like to have. I would have fun with that.

Actually I have been wanting a sewing table for the longest. So a week before christmas my husband and i went shopping for a winter coat for him. We happen to go to sears. So we did stroll to the sewing area. I did point out a sewing table that I would be happy with. And so last Sunday he asked if that is what I wanted. Yep!!! So after church we went back to sears and got my gift early. I will post a picture later.

See what I mean. They don't really know sometimes what we want. But if you happen to stroll past something you would really like point it out. Do post you pic. I need another sewing table for my new or old machine.

I just wanted to let you know.Kenmore sewing machines are made by Janome.

WOW!! :thumbup: A new machine, how wonderful!! I have a Kenmore also & have always loved it. My DH bought me the opposite type of machine, for Christmas this year. I now own a 1935 treadle Singer!! :D Husbands that buy us sewing machines or sewing items of any kind, are definate keepers!! Enjoy your new machine!!
:D :D :D :D

Here is my machine and the new table that I got this year. Now this coming year for the embroidery machine.
