I replaced my trusty sewing machine last year..I loved my old machine and it earned its living from cot sheets to childrens clothes and many fundraising projects.One great thing it had was the ability to sew stretch stitch..very handy for activity wear.
Alas it retired...
what I bought is so much lighter...and for me that is a bonus..I tried to buy one as near as possible to my first one.
It is a Toyota..like the car!!!

let us know what you decided..
