meg Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Originally posted by chrisee After 5 months without any sewing machine my Bernina 440 arrived....how exciting was that...and most days I am able to learn more about putting her through her paces. It is amazing what they can do. I can't imagine the excitement levels when my Millie arrives. It was due to be delivered January 2010, but it went to someone ...who I am sure would be loving it as I would have....else's home and my delivery date had to be postponed to - at least - November....fingers crossed. love my 440! sorry you have to wait so long for your millie.

Mercedes Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I got my camera out to take pictures of the FW tables but my car was in the way in the garage and it's pouring down rain so pictures will have to wait. I did take a couple pictures of some of the machines I have. If I can figure out to post a picture, I'll do it later this evening.....Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sylvia Here is a link to a couple of featherweight tables. I believe the card table is the more common one. http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/featherweight_fever_those_elusive_featherweight_cabinets_and_tables.html Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 OMGosh, this thread is amazing! Mercedes, my mouth literally fell open when I read your list of machines, and then I just burst out laughing. Wow, what a wonderful collection you have. I'd love to see them, especially your antiques. Maybe you could post some pictures of your favourites. How fun! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I took a few pictures of the machines I have but have yet to figure out how to get them down to a size I can post. I'm new to the MAC and have Iphoto which I am not familiar with. I'll keep trying.....Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I just added my 10th a new Brother 10 needle embroidery machine the PR-1000. I need a 12 step program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncquilter Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Connie, I was admiring the new Brother embroidery machine. How do you like it? Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I love it!!! It has the "eye" just like the Quattro, which makes it very easy to center the design and see the stitching up close!! I hope they come out with the same upgrade tht the Quattro just got, you can scan the fabric and see exactly where your design is going to go. The PR-1000 isn't cheap but I negotiated a really good deal, got the machine, horn cabinet and large frame for less then the MRSP.:cool::cool::cool: I've had really, really good luck with Brother machines. I got the Bernina 820 and hate it. Love my Quattro and Bernina 440 (my machine for classes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi Connie, Would you mind my asking what it is you don't like about the Bernina 820? I have been considering going to my local dealer for a test drive. As I don't know anyone that has one I would be interested in your input. I had heard that the early ones had some issues that have since been corrected. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncquilter Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Connie, I have a Brother Duetta which I love. This new upgrade for the Quattro sounds amazing! Hopefully it will be available for your new baby too! Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
