    So I gave it a whirl! It is much more quiet than my Singer, and I love using the foot pedal to do needle down. It also takes up a ton of real estate on my sewing table, but it's okay. It sews...

    I would keep them! I hate to feel like my efforts have been "wasted" and I like the explanation that no two snowflakes are alike! I say keep.
