How to get a new sewing machine. by mulya

"I hope this one works"

How I did it: I needed a machine. I heard Janomes are the new greatest sewing machine, as opposed to Singers, but I didn't really know where to get one, or how to compare. I'm just a novice, after all. Well, anyway, my fiance called his mom, and she said she had a machine sitting around her house collecting dust. It had hardly been used at all! So, she gave me her sewing machine, and I didn't have to buy one.

My new machine is a Brother, and I like it, only the drawer on the front is kind of stupid. The whole thing comes off and you have turn turn it over to get inside it. On my old machine (a kenmore) there was just a little hatch on the front, and I could easily get to my bobbins and other little tools. Still, it's a really great machine, and the price was right!

Lessons & tips: Don't buy a kenmore (Sears) - they come out of alignment really easily. Well, that's what the repair-man said.

    I'll miss my old one 9 months ago

    By the time I get my old sewing machine repaired a couple more times, I will have spent enough money to buy a new one.

    So, my fiance says to me the other day, “I’ve been thinking… you need a new machine. Why don’t we go in halves on a new one for you? We can shop for it Monday, if you want.”

    Sounds like a good deal to me. After all, I’ll be sewing for him some of the time.

    I’ll really miss the old one, since it was my mom’s. I think I’ll keep it around, anyway, just as a motivator.

    Mine is 17 years old but still works 2 years ago

    So, it is very difficult to justify this purchase. It isn’t fancy and I like it well enough but I’d like some more enhanced features, esp. when it comes to machine embroidery and quilting.

    I think I’ll put this on a list for my famiy to chip together as a gift for the holidays later this year.
