What is the best feature about your sewing machine and what would you change if you could?
I just got my machine back from its service/repair. It was noted that the parts were worn in the machine. So it looks like sooner or later I'm going to need a new machine. BUT which one??? The choice is mind boggling.
So I'm doing some research. Best and worst features of your machine?
I have two other questions - what dose it mean to buy a machine to "grow into", what sort of features would these be?
And why do some modern machines have six different button hole options?? (this has perplexed me for a while)
I had better start by answering my own question
Currently I'm running a very basic vintage Elna, it is amazing because it sews through EVERYTHING but I find the reverse leaver that I pull back with my thumb frustrating because it aggravates my RSI.
Recently I have also used a Brother NS-30 and a vintage Globe and they both annoyed me as the feet did not curl around the shaft so a soon as the screw loosened they fell straight off!
I did enjoy having and using the decorative stitches on the brother.
