Sewing Machine Meme

I'm participating in the Sew Mama Sew meme on machines I have two machines to tell about.

What brand and model do you have? Singer 5838C

How long have you had it? 12+ years

How much does that machine cost (approximately)? It was a gift, so I don't know.

What types of things do you sew? quilts, kids' clothes

How much do you sew? How much wear and tear does the machine get? I only get to touch it every other week or so. But when I first got it, I used it almost daily.

Do you like/love/hate your machine? Are you ambivalent? Passionate? Does she have a name? It has sentimental value since it was my first.

What features does your machine have that work well for you? It has several stitches, but I rarely utilize them

Is there anything that drives you nuts about your machine? just not finding time to use it.

Would you recommend the machine to others? Why? It's very reliable although heavy. I don't take her to class or anything.


What brand and model do you have? Janome 3125

How long have you had it? almost 2 years

How much does that machine cost (approximately)? About $80 (I think).

What types of things do you sew? quilts, kids' clothes

How much do you sew? How much wear and tear does the machine get? I only get to touch it every other week or so. This one travels with me. My girl scout troop uses it once a month to make quilts. I take it to class or to quilting bee. I've taken it on a flight with me so that I could sew at night after meetings.

Do you like/love/hate your machine? Are you ambivalent? Passionate? Does she have a name? I like the convenience of being able to take it along.

What features does your machine have that work well for you? It has a few features, but I typically only use a straight stitch.

Is there anything that drives you nuts about your machine? I don't like that I can't shift my needle position.

Would you recommend the machine to others? Why? It's convenient and light weight.
