It is my belief that somewhere on this property there is a Bernina sewing machine from the 1970's or 1980's. It is built like a battleship. How does one lose track of something like that? Have an ongoing 2-year crisis six months after you move in I guess. . . that would account for it! Maybe. . .

Why do I have it? I hate sewing.

It depends on how much you want to spend. The prices run the gamut as you will see when you start searching. Personally, I would not buy a Singer made in today's time. The old ones from yesteryear were solid but not so much now. Too much plastic in the parts. I have 3 machines. The first one is a Brother that I bought from Costco. I use it to take with me to classes. The other 2 are Baby Lock. I would recommend a Baby Lock Jubilant as an entry machine. Janome is good. Juki is very popular. Can't go wrong with any of them.

@ECBG Yes, it's my hobby. Last night I finished a Christmas quilt for my GS in law.

I've donated at least 40 twin size quilts to the humanitarian center in my city. Last week I made a bunch of bowl and ice cream cozies.

After yard work I can't just sit and do nothing.
