My mother is a professional seamstress and she has this machine. It has outlasted every 'new' machine she has been graced with. She uses this one almost extensively... this and her 1920 New Home (that once belonged to my grandmother) are her main machines for making gowns for senators' wives, draperies that are gracing some historic homes in D.C., etc... so your hubby picked a winner! Also, these machines can be repaired very easily and inexpensively... check with quilt shops and independent fabric stores if you ever need to have them looked at inexpensively. Usually they have retirees (men that have been working on these machines for years and like to tinker), that don't advertise in the yellow pages or newspaper but just have small fabric shops refer people to them. There is a retired veteran that maintains my mom's New Home each year for $20... the sewing machine store in the area wanted to charge her $100. Looking forward to see what beautiful creations you come up with!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167757446250673987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-14055974311011694062011-09-09T08:20:10.917-04:002011-09-09T08:20:10.917-04:00One more thought... when your kids leave home you ...One more thought... when your kids leave home you can take over a whole room! I have 4 sewing machines, a coverstitch and a serger set up in a room that was used by one of my kids who has grown up and left home.... I have two of the machines in cabinets and don't even bother putting them down, just cover them up when not in use... what luxury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-42408336711560905152011-09-09T08:17:19.927-04:002011-09-09T08:17:19.927-04:00Congratulations!
