It was my first and it was great. I have to tell you , I found a japanese maching in the cabinet in the alley behind my house. OF course I drug it in, Since they were going to sent it to the trash heap , it is also a blue/green color. I did not even plug it in to see if it worked but I think I will. and i think if it needs some help I know where to take it to get it all fixed up.. WOW what a concept... I love your ideas of using old machines... I learned to sew on a 59 Singer model 401a and still have it ... Thanks again... Looking forward to taking your class in Plano on January 1, 2013 crazy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732146613926403990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65174839469551679342012-12-05T04:57:35.757-05:002012-12-05T04:57:35.757-05:00:-( Missed quiltcam.

My Singer is skipping stitches & I need to find a new service person for it. Also, just wanted to say for all your viewers, the problems with viewing Quiltcam are not from Bonnie's end. It's all in how our various computer receivers are set up. How amazing is it that although I live at the bottom of Australia, I can watch & listen to Bonnie sharing her time & knowledge. It just blows me away. Thank you Bonnie!!Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07674479479348126446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74569873444086384592012-12-04T22:52:13.598-05:002012-12-04T22:52:13.598-05:00I"m a scraper.

It has to be one that is easy to operate, and parts have to be readily available. I passed on some machines because they take a different harder-to-find needle size -- not going there.<br /><br />I prefer straight stitch machines, but have some with zig zag.<br /><br />Price. I like machines on the cheap. I'll pay up to $100 if the machine doesn't need servicing -- but if it needs to be taken in, I don't want to pay over $50.00Bonnie K.
