    My dream machine would be one which could read my mind and say 'stop don't do that', when I am about to sew a mistake! One which could carry on quilting when I am asleep and make all the tops for me, the ones I dream about before I go to sleep! Oh and have a chocolate dispencer on the side, that never ran empty! Lol!

    ...or a mirror to see where we're going when having to reverse for a quilting design.

    ok seems as it's a dream machine:

    Just double clone me so that I can sit at my piecing machine, my embroidery machine, and the other me can do everything else that is demanded by my MIL, DH and DC oops and work. Better make three or four of me.

    So many projects, so little time.

    Fancy beverage dispenser, foot massage feature on pedal, a fast-forward feature for tedious tasks...

    I have two of them really......

    The original wooden Patent machine that Elias Howe made, and one of the Kate McKenzie Singer 12's that only 2 are known to exist.

    My dream machine is a juki with the quilt frame and stitch regulator!! I am just beginning to begin to save AGAIN for one.

    While sewing last night thought of another feature I would love. Self threading.

    How about a bobbin that is a whole spool of thread. I've always wanted to invent that one!
