I too wish it could talk to me... sometimes I would like to know if my machine would like to try something it hasn't yet, or work on a different kind of project. It has feelings too you know.... It tells us each time it is p 'ed off and breaks threads, needles, or weird da clunk da clunk da clunk sounds!!!

THEY HAVE FEELINGS TOO!!!

I wish my machine would sew my UFO's while I am gone and cut the fabric for quilts.

Oh I just love all of these. Currently I wish my machine would give me a couple suggestions for how to quilt the quilts I'm working on. With this quilt you could do this this or that. With that other quilt you could...

i hate changing thread so wish you could have all your thread somehow connected in the bobbin and up top so whenever you wanted a different color you just press a button and it sews in that color..and a stop you are doing something stupid flashing light and siren to prevent you sewing things together wrong then having to reverse sew!

I think this could be possible if you switched to the treadle machine! :D

I want my machine to be able to sew faster so I can complete all the quilts that I have dreamed of making!

I wish my machine would talk to me....like Kitt talks to Michael in Knightrider. I imagine it would have a slightly camp voice and be quite sarcastic, but in a friendly, teasing way.
