I got a Pfaff! For years I have been longing for a new sewing machine. I have been using my Mom's old Sears Kenmore machine from the 70's and every time I sewed with it, it was a struggle. This new machine is so smoooooth!
I had quite a bit of work and some errands to do yesterday, so only a bit of sewing was done. . .
A flannel (lined with muslin) heating pad cover. This was super quick and much needed. I have chronic pain in my ear and neck and my heating pad had a nasty, scratchy polyester cover -- yuck! This is so much softer. I didn't have time to make the super cute pieced heating pad cover that is in Denyse Schmidt Quilts
ohhh jealousy over here, I still have my crappy, 10 stitch, $100 walmart machine! But at least it works...I'll get by. Looking forward to seeing more sewing, which reminds me I have a few bags to finish...

So fun! I wish I had a room that I could just leave me old dinosaur machine up all the time so I could just jump on it whenever the mood hit me. Enjoy yours! I'm looking forward to your increased craftyness!

Oh, you'll love it! I have a Pfaff from a couple of years ago and never have had a single problem with it.

Before I got my new sewing machine (a Janome) I used my Mother's 70's Kenwood! They are good machines and good workhorses but it's so nice to have a new machine that doesn't argue with you quite so much!
Happy sewing!

Good for you. Enjoy the new toy! with all this sewing going on, I'm tempted to get me a new machine too. I'm using a handmedown as well, when I'm not using a cheapomatic one. I guess the machine does make a difference.

Ohhh how great! You will love it. I just bought a Janome 6500 an upgrade from a $100 machine and could just kick myself that I didn't do it sooner. enjoy!
