It's been a joy to use, no wrestling with stitch settings, it just sews easily, it sewed jersey like a dream without even the right type of needle. I have never used a fancier/more expensive machine than this so I can't compare it to a truly top of the range model, but I am delighted with my choice.Kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984301306389767638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842269580728258816.post-32248415177703370572013-02-15T01:25:51.044+00:002013-02-15T01:25:51.044+00:00Yay!

It took me 3 days to get the settings just right! Then it never worked again. So I bought a Singer and I'm so in love with it.

I had been using a 70s machine that was my Granny's, but it wasn't until I got my new machine that I realised how great modern machines are! I hope you love yours just as much, and have many happy sewing years with it. I shall enjoy seeing what you make with it. :)Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891063381064955827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842269580728258816.post-45747335202677319762013-02-13T20:58:27.578+00:002013-02-13T20:58:27.578+00:00I have a Janome, it's a great little basic mac...I have a Janome, it's a great little basic machine, but I know it's not going to last me forever.
