I have not purchased a sewing machine in over 20 years. I have a Brother XL2021 with 21 stitches. I had another Brother previously that was also 20 years old before I replaced it. The older Brother was just a basic machine with straight and zig zag stitches. I bought the newer one mainly because it had more stitches and made buttonholes. I was so happy with that XL2021, until now.
I started looking around for a new machine. Boy was I in for a shock! Not only the prices but what these machines can do. They thread their own needle (a wonderful invention for my older eyes), cut the thread, reverse
without holding down a button, and probably can dance if I let it.
I decided on a Baby Lock that also does embroidery. It didn’t make sense to me to purchase a machine without the embroidery. Now I have to learn how to use the machine. Fortunately the place where I purchased the machine offers lessons. You will soon see embroidery on my doll clothes.
