The new sewing machine
Singer Heavy Duty 4423.
I looked at a LOT of sewing machines over the past couple of days. It came down to two: the Singer I'm getting and a Brother CS6000i. I read all the reviews and tried to push my preconceived ideas about both companies out the window. I've had problems with Brothers in the past. (3 months and the machine DIED!) And Mom has had problems with Singers...
I tried to find a bad review for the Singer and that was about it. I found one. With the Brother -there were a lot of bad reviews as well as a whole heck of a lot of good reviews. What it came down to was that the Singer, despite not being fancy, is said to be able to sew any type of material you throw at it -within reason- and many of the reviewers had the machine for at least 6 months or longer. Any machine will work three days out of the box, I'm more curious if it will work 3 years out of the box. Based on the Singer reviews, it sounds like just a better machine over all.
So, come Tuesday, I can sew! Hmm...maybe I can make that cute knit dress on the new machine for Jury Duty on Wednesday....
