What is 'your' favorite sewing machine?
I don't really have a favorite! I love all my machines, but I do like the feather weights for their seam accuracy. They are so sturdy!
ReplyDeleteMy Featherweight is my favorite. I do alternate sewing on my different machines - all are electric and two are computerized - but I think the Featherweight is the most accurate. Thanks for sharing your favorites. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection to stitch on! I am down to two machines now....Featherweight and Janome 6600....love them both for different things.
ReplyDeleteMy 301's are my favorites. But I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteI Learned to sew on a singer treadle machine and I wish my mother had left it to me. I've never been able to make those electric ones behave. I have one now sitting on my table that I don't want to put back in the box until ot is working and have not yet figured out where it is screwed up.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Jealous that you have a Singer Model 12 - in a treadle, no less!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this again. Google, I want my comments back in my inbox!!!!
