not even a thought -- Babylock Ellisimo Gold -- it's an amazing machine. has every bell and whistle you can think of.
stadium lighting - autolift - thread cutter - automatic threading - laser positioning - embroidery with all the bells & whistles too - extra large hoop - laser positioning - fine detail editing --

Oh, yeah :-)

Actually, the only machine I've seen that has this is the Singer XL6000. I had one and thought this was a great feature. Too bad the machine was crap. Singer probably has the patent on this feature but it is amazing. Actually, it's called an endless bobbin. There is a bobbin like usual, but the bobbin is different so that when it runs out, it will stop, automatically refill itself (the bobbin spool is located in a lower section of the machine) then start stitching again (in embroidery mode). It will work for regular sewing too but you just have to push a button to refill (if my memory is accurate).

Have a HQ Sweet 16 with the Tru-Stitch and I love it, but I would also love the HQ Fusion with the Pro-Sitcher along with the space to have it upstairs and not in the basement. I doubt that would ever happen, I'd feel like I have to have a business to make it worthwhile.

Other than Pantovision (allows doing pantographs from the front) and maybe one or two small items (like a magnifier), I have my dream LA, a 26" Innova with Lightening Stitch (stitch regulator). I also love my FW's (221 and 222) and my Pfaff for fancy sewing.

Money would be no factor if they made a sewing machine with and 'undo' feature!

I have my dream machine. On Feb 12th I bought the Janome 8900 and love it. Because of problems with my hip I was not able to use it for about 3 weeks but now I have made up the time and use it almost daily. It does wonderful 1/4" seams! It replaced a Bernina 1530 which I bought years ago when I was making clothes and not quilts. The Bernina finally gave out and the next day I bought the Janome.

This would be awesome! I love my 440 QE-sorry to see it has been discontinued.

I also want all the above, but, I want to be able to adjust the tension!
No computer to go out and cost half the price of the machine to replace!
No plastic gears to break!

I believe it was National but not sure that made what's called "A Two Spool Machine" Hubby and I have seen this and wondered why it didn't catch on then. Very old idea has a little metal bucket that holds the WHOLE spool of thread. A modern production would surely sell. The vintage collectores can tell you more. That's hubbys pet peeve with machines.

One more item to add to the dream machine: a bobbin that would fill automatically without removing from the machine.
