hankerin' for a new machine, maybe?
ok, buying the DS that used little pfaff has started something in
me....i have a hankering for a new machine. My viking has been such a workhorse, but i noticed that the new little pfaff practically purrs it sounds so smooth. My viking? much noisier. perhaps i'll take some time and look at some new machines. i'd actually like something NON computerized (gasp!)....so does anyone want to throw out their favorites? betsey (and yes my favorite machine is still my 1937 featherweight!) |

My all time favorite machine is my Bernina 930. It always sews
well but boy does it purr when it comes back from the shop. (that is rarely but I can tell) My suprising other favorite is my Brother 1500. It is straight stitch only but the large harp is wonderful. I was fighting with my Janome 6600 the other day and dh said pack it up and we'll go trade it in on different machine. If it hadn't cost so much I would do that. I think my 930 spoiled me! That and I just don't like a computerized machine. John had the same problem some time ago. Where is he hiding out? If I had to get a machine now I think I would go for the TOL bernina mechanical. My FW's and 301's are fun too! Taria "betsey" wrote in message ... ok, buying the DS that used little pfaff has started something in me....i have a hankering for a new machine.

You lucky rascal. How I would love to have a local Bernina dealer. Wow.
Happy day, happy day. Nothing sews like a Bernina. I have two 155, one 1230, and a 440QE - not to sound prejudiced. There's also a Singer and a Viking out on loan ( probably permanent). BUT, choice of SM is such a very personal thing. Choose something that makes you smile. Polly "betsey" wrote in message ...

thank you Taria. My lqs is a bernina dealer...might have to wander over there on friday! Betsey, I hate to mention this but mercury is retrograde. Not such a great time to buy or start new things. if you can possibly wait until after Dec. 14 you might be even happier yet. I know lots (most) folks don't follow astrology but I knock on wood too! Any way around please report back when you get your new machine. Taria |

I'm going to go look...and i'm also going to bring my viking in to be serviced (different sewing machine dealer) after the holidays...it might be all it needs is a spa day to make me happy! (and yes, i quite agree with you, the machine MUST make you smile!) |
