Remember me writing about the new sewing machine I was thinking about getting? I really didn't want to spend too much but I wanted a lot of features for my money. I think I found exactly that in my new machine. Here it is!
See all the built in stitches?
There are are decorative stitches, quilting stitches and heirloom sewing stitches. It came with an extended table (not shown), a hopping foot for free motion, a walking foot and a bunch of other feet. It has feed dogs that lower (whooeee!), a needle down function and ... I love this ... it has the option for push button sewing.
I can just set the speed and hit the button. Why is this exciting? Think about it...the biggest challenge in free motion is moving your hands in coordination with keeping the foot pedal at a constant rate of speed. With this, I only need to be concerned that my hands keep moving consistently. I won't be using this machine really for much quilting - Jenny is a wonderful quilting machine and we have a "groove" but it is so cool to have the option. Another great feature is that it weighs about 12 pounds. It will be great for dragging to S4 meetings, retreats and classes.
I am just about giddy. Can you tell?! It just arrived yesterday afternoon and I have had only a little time to play so that's what I am going to do today.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Congratulations on your new family member and ENJOY getting to know her...have you picked out a name yet?

ReplyDeleteI have that machine, its the on ei use all the time. I love it. I just found out it has an overlock foot and stitch, which was wonderful when I had a dress to hem. At the piecing stitches are fun too, no special foot and that 1/4inch seam. I love it, its fun. Enjoy!
