I have been collecting sewing machines so our dance group can make costumes. As many of the dancers are students our budget was limited, so I asked around for donations of old machines. These machines have been wonderful and are often easy to service without taking in to shops. I have about 8 sewing machines and two overlockers. My husqvana is in for repairs, again, and these back up machines are saving my skin! In the meantime I'm contemplating selling my industrial satin stitcher and straight stitcher and buying an embroidery machine, not for sewing, but to do embroidery on baroque frockcoats and waistcoats. We have been doing it all by hand, lovely, but slow. I've held off because all our computers are macs, but I've now got a laptop with windows xp on it, so might be able to use the software. Now I'm looking for a good machine in the lower price bracket that will suit.
