I learned to sew on a featherweight in the 60's. When my mother was downsizing and asked her 9 kids what we would like, both my brother (he doesn't sew) and I both mentioned the sewing machine. We decided to play a card game to see who would get it. He took it home.
He he and his wife (a quilter) have it out on display ALL the time. I love to see it.
i think all the time about getting my own, but I'm afraid it would not be used. I have a Janome 7700 and 3160 for class. I need some help on how I can justify it.
