Diane...DONT pack your Kenmore away just yet......its going to take time to learn all those bells and whistles...and some days your going to get frustrated because the newer machines are like computers and you know how that works.....so its always good to have an extra machine around just because........hopefully your going to go to some classes and I hope you have lots of fun sewing and getting to know your new friend.....good luck......god bless!!!!

You might be interested in this tidbit of info. I teach sewing and quilting, and was talking to a sewing machine repairman recently about machines. I have a Pfaff 7570, a Singer Featherweight, a Viking 1100, a Brother CS6000i, and an older New Home. My repairman and I were talking about what to recommend to my students. He said to stay from the newer Singers, and he recommended to only buy a Brother or Baby Lock now-a-days. They are the two most reliable machines being made today.

What a great day for you. When we were little kids my brothers would always take their"thing"to bed so the rest of us wouldn't take it. I guess now that we all are older i don't need to worry about you taking your new machine to bed!!!

I've had my Babylock for about 2 years, I love it! Especially the start/stop button and the needle threader! Oh yeah and the embroidery attachments, and I guess just about everything. Hope you have as much fun withyours!

It won't be totally packed away. I have the original packaging and would prefer to protect it in that, than leaving it unused and exposed to the elements.
I may have already sewn a few things and hugged it once.
