    The visibility of the fabric through the clear foot is really helpful to me for getting a consistent 1/4" seam. I have the one that Leah Day sells for my other machine, but I'm looking for the one...

    Anyone have the smarter by pfaff c1100pro, babylock serenade, or singer L-500?

    I just got a Singer L-500 and I was wondering since it's the same machine as the pfaff c1100pro whether the pfaff clear 1/4 foot would fit the singer l-500? Looking at pictures of the two,...

    My first and current machine is a Singer and it is fantastic...especially for how inexpensive it was. It's a bit small and lacks some of the features included in the L-500, Janome 6600/7700, or...

    Singer Quantum L-500...thoughts?

    I'm wondering how I didn't know this machine existed. It seems to have all the features I want. Bigger harp space, thread cutter, knee lift, free arm, dual feed, and it's faster then my current...

    It's a cheapie Singer Stylist 7258. I've turned it off and on so many times as I've been troubleshooting the problem here and there for a couple days now, and that made no difference. Tonight I...

    I'll do the bobbin drop test tonight when I get home from work. Am I going to mess anything up by tightening it? What on earth could have made it loosen on its own?

    Also, when I adjust the...

    I've double checked the bobbin case and it's spotless. I haven't adjusted the bobbin tension yet because I wanted to be sure that it wasn't anything else before I mess with that little screw.

    So in the middle of piecing a quilt, my top thread became a straight line with bobbin thread loops on top. So either my top tension suddenly became too tight, or my bobbin tension became too...

    Covers anything replacement of anything that goes wrong within 2 years, and also covers the cost of labor/parts. So it basically gives you an extra year of free labor on top of the Janome warranty. ...

    Well, my decision just got a lot easier. I found a Janome dealer in my area who will sell the 7700 for $2,000 without any classes or warranty (in addition to the Janome warranty), $2,200 with a 2...

    I did consider the pfaff QE4. I saw some scary reviews about this model when it first came out (mostly about shredding thread and a defective take up). The main thing I didn't like about this model...

    I'm looking to upgrade my sewing machine and I have it down to between the 6600 and 7700. Everything seems pretty similar between the two. The harp space is 2" smaller on the 6600, but it would be...

    That's a good point about the embroidery capability...it's not a priority for me. I'm just so torn. I'd love the BSR and reliability/precision I've heard comes with a Bernina, but I'm also ...
