Have you looked there? They had a great deal on them when I got mine. They might have this model that you are looking into.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090169086715656584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-81699778199028828952013-04-13T16:30:03.121-07:002013-04-13T16:30:03.121-07:00Thanks for all of the tips!

It's darling and I love the storage set up and how neat and pretty it is! I also enjoyed learning about the different machines, I've been wanting to upgrade but I too tend to be a creature of habit so even the 12 or so stitches on my current sewing machine are "more than enough" for me to use!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848517715389087210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-24434709050855768982013-04-12T19:06:57.039-07:002013-04-12T19:06:57.039-07:00Any of the three are good.

I was given a great tip years ago: have the salesperson show you how to operate the machine completely. If s/he has problems, you can be guaranteed to have issues as well. Good luck in your search! (I don't recommend current Kenmore or Singer machines at all.)Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610883552149997583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-22480546888082156522013-04-12T07:49:42.196-07:002013-04-12T07:49:42.196-07:00I have a brother XR1300 and I love it.

I kept my old machine (Simplicity American Denim) for heavier things because it sews heavy things well, but piecing on it did not work well anymore. Have you looked at any Singer machines? They have some good ones in the same price range, just bought one for my mom to replace her old Singer. Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191018277620635081noreply@blogger.com
