Why do you like your machine
#91
I have an old, old, Bernina 830. I bought it new, about 25 years ago. It has never once jammed or knotted up the thread. It has gone through 3 foot pedals. I used to sew curtains, etc. professionally. I have had it cleaned once a year every year and that is all the maintenance it has had. Last year I traded my Bernina 135 in on a new 730. It too is wonderful. Harder to get used to because it too does so much. But I really love my Berninas.

Here i am sounding like a broken record- I love my old Brother (Penny), and am in love with my new Brother (Pearl). The only machine I have ever used, that I liked better, was the industrial 'White' machine that had it's own cabinet. (back in caveman days.) :P

I LOVE my 1941 Singer. It's a black cast-iron model and was born before bells and whistles were ever thought of... it straight stitches, period. My two newer machines (a Singer and a Brother) have annoying problems when I use them and it seems like I'm always having to adjust something or start a seam over because of a problem, etc. But not with the old Singer! If something goes wrong with her, I rethread and put the bobbin back in, since I messed it up somewhere. Her only problem is that she won't make bobbins any more....which started the month that Side Winders came out. End of problem!

I have a Viking Emerald 203 - nothing fancy but sews like a dream! Every time I go to a quilting class, most of the students drag their VERY expensive sewing/embroidery machines and cases of accessories. I plug mine in and I'm ready to go - I would buy this one again and again and again.....
