I have a friend that loves her Kenmore's! She is a big-time quilter and she just bought a new one and loves it.

Y'all have me convinced!! I told DSIL to go for the Kenmore higher level. I got a mileage reimbursement check on my medical so I'm keeping it for the sewing machine!! I have the money in hand!!! Yayyyyyyy

DH said, don't wait for Christmas, my birthday is in October and SIL is coming for a visit then, so we are going for it. She lives in another state and will bring it with her when she comes to NY!!

i have a singer athena electronic machine and not real happy with it as have had some problems. i have taken it in twice because feed dogs will not stay adjusted and are too low, therefore not assisting with feeding fabric thru - usually have to give the fabric a pull thru manually. also, the needle threader worked at first and now only off and on - have to have the needle at just the right place and some threads do not seem to feed thru it. machine RUNS fine, just these little irritating things.
