Granny's Sentimental Machine vs. a New Computerized Machine

"I love my great grandmother's sewing machine. Is there a good reason to invest in a new computerized machine?"

Yes! Machines do wear out. They also don't make sewing as smooth and quick as a new model. Here are some points to look for when you are selecting your machine:

--A drop-in bobbin, because they are less troublesome.
--A varied needle position
--Easy to snap on and off feet
--A pretty buttonhole...one that is easy to repeat.
--An invisible zipper foot!

*Note: All of those cute stitches are nice, but they are not used very often.

Be sure to find a good friendly shop where they service on site. If you need service on your machine, you want to make sure that the store will be able to return your machine to you quickly.
