You didn't read the tag on that machine, did you, Matterhorn Fan? It's the one that starts out Pursuant to state and federal statutes... and goes on for a paragraph, then ends Said sewing machine may only be used to make pink fun fur throw pillows. Any other use is a violation of state and federal law.

I thought that was Ally's (being as it is pink!)

Matterhorn Fan · 08-20-2007, 06:41 PM

Ally can have one, too. It's only 29.99 at Target.com.

Matterhorn Fan · 08-21-2007, 02:01 PM

Oh no! Anything but Fun Fur!

How come everyone uses "Fun Fur" ? Doesn't anyone use "Woe Fur" anymore ?

Kevy Baby · 08-21-2007, 06:51 PM

I prefer no fur: a Brazilian

I'm resurrecting this ancient thread for 2 reasons.

My machine is starting to falter
CostCo has a decent deal on a machine
I can't afford the machine of my dreams

So, this is what I'm considering:

For a whopping $119 - Brother Computerized
77-Stitch Function
Sewing Machine

Accessories: Zipper Insertion, Darning, Twin-needle Stitching
and Button Sewing

.................................................. ...............................

Or for $169
Brother Computerized
110-Stitch Function
Sewing Machine

Includes: Hard Case and
Quilting Accessories

.................................................. ...........................................

For $399
I can splurge and get this one, but I think I'd rather get serious at this price.
Brother® LB-6770THRD Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine

Bonus: 12-pc Thread Pack
Includes: 4" x 4" Embroidery Frame, Needles, Tools
& Bobbin Clips

Thoughts?

Its too bad I don't know anyone who knows about sewing machines

She's at a sewing class as I write this, but I will tell her to log in and throw in her two cents.

I'm not terribly familiar with Brother machines. But unless you embroider, I'd nix the 3rd one.

For my $$, I'd look at this (I do a moderate amount of sewing):

Kenmore 15343.

This is the modern version of the machine I've had for about 25 years. Nothing fancy. Nothing "electronic". A basic, user friendly, low maintenence machine. And right now, you can get $5 off making it $84.99!

I'd love to know which Husqvarna Viking Helen has. Whichever one it is, I envy it...they make awesomely cool sewing machines.
