    Sometimes it just takes time to find the right machine to be your friend. Hope the purple will be a friend forever. Good Luck. Sue

    that is a lot of excitement for just a little amount of time. I haven't gone through that many machines in my whole life!! Sounds like a fun day though.

    Talking Many sewing machines

    In Kentucky: I hope you have a machine you will just love. But remember these late models
    of machines have nylon or plastic insides. They don't stay put on a table (like the heavy old
    models) and the gears wear out. I have a 10 year old Janome and find it doesn't stay adjusted.
    I have it to the service folks at least 2 times a year. I'd love to have my 50 plus old Sears
    Kenmore machine back. It was great and always stayed in adjustment.

    Speaking of thimbles - I use a leather one with elastic on the sides to fit anyone. I love it. Don't know where I bought it but I have seen them everywhere.

    I don't use leather. I wish there was a cruelty-free version of one.
