If you are looking for the giveaway go here. :-)
Now I am sure that many of you quilters have machines that do much more than what I am about to show you, but keep in mind I am coming from this:
A basic Singer that does a straight stitch and a zig-zag. I have one presser foot for the machine. It certainly has gotten a workout over the years. Well, actually mostly in this past year, but it has been a faithful worker for 10 years no matter what random project I would challenge it to do.But now, I have this guy. My new favorite friend. To me, this has all the bells and whistles that I need and more.
I have ten feet for the machine which you can see laid out in the above picture.I can monogram, albeit only one font and size.
I have a digital screen and easy selector buttons.I can free motion quilt.
The feed dogs drop down with ease so no more cover plate.
I can sew without my foot pedal.I can make many pretty stitches.
There is twin needle stitching.Eight different kinds of button holes.
An extended sewing table or an accessory compartment.
The bobbin case is easily removable for cleaning.
Oh how I love this machine!
Looks like you are having a great time with your new machine and all the fun things you can do. Enjoy! Nola
ReplyDeleteYou will LOVE your Brother machine..... I have two --one my husband bought for me in 1992 and it's still going strong and the other is my wonderful PQ1500 semi-industrial (only does straight stitch, fantastic for quilting). Have fun learning all about your new baby!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing!
Thank you so much for helping our precious daughter come home to her family.

WOW!!! It looks fabulous! I still have a basic Singer, well a little bit more than basic, but that's enough for my ability. You do really gorgeous things. Take care, Clara.
ReplyDeleteI agree!!! My sweet hubby bought me the same machine and I had a singer that is 20 years + old...I miss the old girl, but this one has so much to play with!!! When I get really good, perhaps then I will get another more fancy machine, but Lord knows...I am thrilled with this one!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor free motion quilting, Oh Franson has a great tutorial !!!
Good luck!
