Given, I don't use it every day but I do use it enough to put some wear on it. It's been great for the money. I don't know how it would work with heavy use or highly specialized sewing but it's been great for most things.. :)The Santos Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460312870432928429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201495422150884053.post-44728451631330790992009-02-28T10:39:00.000-08:002009-02-28T10:39:00.000-08:00M2f, thanks for the advice.

I haven't touched a sewing machine in AGES and I'm sure I wouldn't have thought to look for that.<BR/><BR/>:)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201495422150884053.post-27557500426629804832009-02-27T11:59:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:59:00.000-08:00I used to have a Janome/New Home Memory Craft 8000...I used to have a Janome/New Home Memory Craft 8000. It was a wonderful machine with 189 stitches. My sister used to say you could press a button on it that said "Christening Gown" and one would come out the other end. (Just kidding--there is no such button.)<BR/>I ran that puppy into the ground with tons and tons of sewing. I loved it to death...literally. Its death, not mine, obviously.<BR/><BR/>Now I have a very simple Kenmore machine without all the bells and whistles. It's enough for me now, but the fancy machine was great when I was sewing for the kids. If you don't want to go for the expensive machine, the one thing you must have is a buttonhole attachment. It will make things much easier!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201495422150884053.post-29726705497405823342009-02-27T05:24:00.000-08:002009-02-27T05:24:00.000-08:00Oh, and Serena, what a gorgeous baby in your profi...Oh, and Serena, what a gorgeous baby in your profile pic!

I really, really appreciate having a real-life recommendation instead of just relying on Ye Olde Interwebs.<BR/><BR/>Anon, I've thought about Craigslist -- the problem is that my budget currently includes about $40 per month in "extras."

The best brand is Janome. They run forever, the accessories are included, and they're extremely easy to use. They are the best. I don't care what anyone else says, believe <I>me</I>!!! ;)<BR/><BR/>Cloth <I>everything</I> is wonderful, by the way. Once I switched to--let's be frank here--cloth pads, I wondered how I'd ever done disposable. I made my own, too. I couldn't justify buying something so simple to make!<BR/><BR/>My favorite cleaning rags are old t-shirts. I cut them up, and don't even have to hem them. You're going to have a lot of fun with this.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959242204818975269noreply@blogger.com
