Deal of the week, Our Kmart is closing so they had this Brother computerized sewing machine I have had my eye on, hoping that no one would pay attention to it and waited and waited for the price to come down, well it is now in my house, I got $45 dollars off,so I paid $135.00 my first new machine, lol the ones I love are my mothers hand me downs nothing wrong with that but the one I use all the time really needed to be serviced and I was afraid that it would die on me, lol and then I have old faithful the machine is way older than I am and a good back up but then she can be temperamental so anyway I walk into the house and my DH just shakes his head and says this house better start smelling like a carpet mill, lol So now I have some decorative stitches, still looking for my embroidery machine but that one will be a while. The one I used all the time, the thread spool pins had fallen into the machine and I had to use a pencil stuck in the machine to put my thread on, then only certain spools would fit, yep I needed a good back up. Betsy is going into the shop today!!!

I'm having to get used to the new machine, ok for you already owner of a computerized machine, now this is not the top of the line but do you always have to reset your needle settings? I have not found in the manual where it will keep the settings after you turn it off and on, Like it goes back to the zero, so I have to reselect my stitch, and the stitch width and length, I do like the needle down when you stop sewing. The pressure foot doesn't go up as high as my old one, it can be lifted higher, guess the adjustment issues of a new machine, oh and it is so quiet, didn't realize how loud my old one was, lol

This is the machine

On my Janome, I have to reset my needle position each time I turn if off and on. It took me a little while to get used to that. Had to take some seams out, cause I wouldn't catch it right off!
