Woo hoo - I'm getting 2 new machines!! I'm getting a Babylock Evolve serger
and a Brother Innovis 4000D. The sewing expo is coming up and the dealers
were actually prepared to deal. I have a White 624D that I absolutely hate.
It's about 14 years old, a pain to thread and very fiddly. I also have a
Viking 1100 about the same age. It is a nice machine, but the new ones can
do so much more, like thread themselves. I'm constantly putting my glasses
on and then taking them off to see what's needed. I plan on keeping this
one as I have a lot invested in the feet and the Brother doesn't seem to
have the variety that the Viking does. Anyway, I'm pretty excited.

Congratulations on the new "toys". I've had Pfaffs for a long time till I
received a new BabyLock Ellageo for Christmas. Although I haven't felt like
"playing" with it very much, first because of illness, then I lost a DS last
month and my dear SIL last week. The bit of practice I've done shows it is
a fantastic machine and I hope to make some Easter outfits for DGD and
myself next week. Enjoy yours.
Emily.

Hi Cathi,

How exciting...I hope you enjoy your machines. I am new to sewing, and
trying to pick brains on the best machines, overlockers, and how-to tips.
The machines I have been recommended (and bought) are the Pfaff 4572
(hobbylock) and the Husqvarna Emerals 183 (yet to be bought). Are you
happy with your husq?

I am nervous about the extent of investment, and while I take people's
advice about different machines being somewhat like cars, I still want
someone to tell me what to do:-) I am currently the owner of a very basic
Janome M2008 - straight and zigzag stitch, 3 step buttonhole...which leads
to my other question...do people generally hang on to more than one sewing
machine? WHY? I was thinking of giving my almost brand new Janome away if
I buy the Husqy, but now am wondering...

Imaan
