What kind of sewing machine do you have?

I have a babyloc with about 5 hours of use on it... I've owned it for 10 years. I feel guilty that I don't use it sometimes. I just HAD to have it. I do dust it sometimes. lol

I also have (on a related note) an old metal New Home treadle base... I use it for a phone stand. I wonder how old it is.

Oh I hear you there!.....BUT
asking a quilter to mend a pair of pants is like asking Picaso to paint your garage,


j/k.....something I read on another sewing forum....
couldn't resist.

I agree with this quote! My DH wants to know why I can whip out a quilting project in no time flat, but when it comes to repairing his pants/work clothes or sewing on DD's Girl Scout patches it takes at least a month and lots of grumbling from me.

Oh, and Billig I agree that Berninas are getting much cheaper parts-wise. Mine still has the metal parts and such, but my sister's newer one has the plastic parts and she has had several things break on it. The Bernina dealer (my local quilt shop connection) keeps asking why I don't trade mine in for a newer model with the stitch regulator, and I told her exactly what I thought of the newer models, not to mention that the price tag is staggering!
