which is a shame considering the money we spend on the new ones. I have gone back to my old singer for piecing and use my fancy machine for fancy work! So I don't ware it out.
I spent about $100 for my first little Brother machine 5 years ago when I started quilting. I wore it out in 2 years. Started skipping stitches, and it would have cost over $50 to repair it. No deal!! My next Brother cost me $195, and it's still going. But I paid about $120 for my 301 and all the parts needed, and because of how sturdy it is, I know I won't have to replace anything on it in my lifetime. Now that's a deal!! :-)
