COMING FULL CIRCLE - - -New Sewing Machine

I was thinking today as I ordered me a new sewing machine of all the machines I have owned.

My first machine in 1979 was a singer sewing machine (was when they didn't have the plastic parts).  It was a graduation gift from my parents, all of 90.00.



My second one was a singer as well but had a lot of stitches and was just a fabulous machine, still no plastic parts.  If I can remember correctly it cost us around 500.00 and at the time thought it was a mint.

That machine lasted me until I purchased a Janome many moons later.  It cost me 275, it was just the basic machine.  The salesman told me that that machine would do everything I wanted.  He was right.  There were no bells or whistles and I literally drove that puppy into the ground.

Next was a Bernina, and sorry, I was not happy with that machine.  It cost a pretty penny but it just didn't feel right.

My sister, Jeanette, introduced me to PFAFF.  Oh my gosh.  This was in Samoa 9 years ago.  I have owned seven Pfaff's since and one Janome Horizon.   I got rid of the Janome Horizon when I purchased another pfaff.



I have a Niche that I purchased at a garage sell that I let my little friends use when they come to sew.

I have a Pfaff, quilt expression 4.0 and have totally loved the longer neck and overall machine.

But....this gal is wanting a new machine.  It is time.

I went to the Janome dealership and said, all I want is a machine that will sew a straight line (which they all do) and the blanket stitch, of course, a longer neck.

So as you can see, I have come full circle, just want a machine that is simple to use and will be a work horse.

To get the longer neck you get the bells and whistles too....or at least most of the whistles.

I went on line.  Ebay, Amazon, the Janome site.  Then.....then it happened.

The heavens opened up and well.....you will have to wait to see what I get.....  I have to try it out first to let you know if I like it or not.
