Thanks for your help!! I might stop at the shop tonight, as I have to take a friend (ex-husband!!) for surgery tomorrow!!(when the sale actually starts) I'm currently using a 30 yr old singer that's had a lot of use..hard use!! jeans, suede,even tents for cripes sake!! It's starting to clunk some, and as I get 'more mature" :lol: :lol: I find I'd like a few features and fancy stitches (especially a threader :shock: ). She has machines for classes so you don't have to haul your own, smooth business move..I'm hooked :D So I think I'll see if she has something I can afford (700-800 bucks..I've been saving). Probably not new, but used. Its only 4 miles away, so maint. &repair shouldn't be a problem. I'll let you know what happens. OOOOH, I'm soooo excited :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a Phaff Varimatic 6091 and love it. I have always cleaned and oliled it myself and never had amy problems with it. I guess I have had it for over five or six years.

Well, I got tied up at work Thurs. night til after the shop closed. Planned on getting there today, but due to several delays (surgeon running 2 hrs late, forgetting to put ex's name on his pain meds prescription, etc I didn't get there today either :cry: :cry: :cry: Tomorrow is another day!! Now if I can get this house cleaned up before company shows up tomorrow... :x

I did it :D :D :D I went yesterday and got a 2048!!! I spent a little more than I expected to, but its new not used and its still less expensive than I could find new for anywhere. I'm so excited, now if I can get 5 minutes to myself to play...probably not before Christmas. I can take it backto the shop for free lessons the 3rd tuesday of any month. I also got a 1/4 inch foot free. I can't wait to use it, the old machine didn't quite pull straight anymore and was just annoying enough to make peicing begin to be pain instead of pleasure :lol: :lol: :lol:

Merry Christmas to me :D :D :D
