One that sews a perfect seam, runs smooth, has perfect bobbin winding tension, rarely ever needs repair and you can do the yearly tune up yourself. That's why the Singer 301 is my favorite machine.

Also do you have a LQS where you can go try out some machines ? Make a list of things you want the machine to have. Needle up or down.... Be able to move the needle manually.... drop feed dogs ..... etc... Let us know when you get it narrowed down to a few machines :thumbup: |
i love my Juki and would buy another in a heartbeat.
i have a juki 98Q for machine frame quilting and i have a F600 for piecing/sewing. they are built to last and they aren't expensive. the 98Q cost $600 and the F600 cost $850 |
How fancy is your Juki? I'm asking because my m-i-l needs a new machine. The folks on this board always have good suggestions!
I'm in love with my used New Home 6000. Quiet, dependable, and easy to use. |

I have a Kenmore and have been very happy with it. My daughter has a Singer (it's nicer than my Kenmore) and she's happy with it. |

Nothing wrong with used machines. Do what your budget allows you to do. ali |
Interesting that many folks share how much they love their used machines. Me too!!
So, how did my husband woo me? During a quick visit to our local Sew-n-Vac for a hose, he spotted me eyeing a sweet New Home 6000 in their used machine area. I thought he was kidding when he told the sales gal to ring it up. Yep, he bought it for me. I LOVE the way that machine sews! Compared to my Brother, it's a smoothie. |
