So what brand and model of sewing machine do you all have... and do you like it?

Deb1 · 12-02-2012, 06:53 AM

I have always used a Singer, but I have heard Brother is also a good one! Happy Sewing!!!

I have a Viking topaz embroidery/sewing machine, a Viking serger and a juki quilting machine.
I love all 3 of them!!

I have a basic Brother machine that I received as a gift. I'm eyeing a fany brother sewing/embroidery machine now but it may have to wait a while. Lol.

I have a 1896 Singer treadle machine (model VS2)(Vibrating Shuttle) that I absolutely love! And a Singer SEQS6000 sewing/embroidery machine that I absolutely love also.

I have one of these too but have never used it. I use the cabinet to set my other machine on. I honestly don't even know if it still works, or how to go about getting it running.

Just open it up and turn the wheel toward you... if the needle goes up and down you may be in business! May need to replace the leather belt as they turn to dust in time. Pull the shuttle and bobbin out, soak in WD40 if it's rusty (check the inside too) Use WD40 to clean and free up any sticky metal parts ( also underneath). I squirt it down and let it sit a day, then just run it and squirt more WD40 till the drips look clean, then wipe off the excess and oil everything with sewing machine oil.

There's a ton of info online if you're really interested in getting it functional, and many original parts on Ebay and some 'been in business forever' sewing machine repair shops. They're fairly easy to work on as everything is very easy to access.

I recently found out that my sewing machine, brand new, was stolen from my storage. It was a Singer, it will take me sometime to save for a new one, I am super annoyed and extremely....I was so hoping to be in my new home sewing....aarrrrrghhhhhhhhh

Lil Sis · 12-09-2012, 11:14 AM

I have a viking designer one -- it is old but still works well. I could not afford a new one of that quality now!

I also just bought a juki 5 thread (yes me and ge credit are friends)
and I have an elna.

I love them all... I would just love to get a new designer one but I have to wait a few years on that. I remember when I first started quilting and sewing someone told me they could have paid for both of their children's college for what was in their sewing room. I do believe them now.

If you are starting I would recomend a brother or elna

joshroo · 12-09-2012, 11:18 AM

I got the brother project runway simple one from Wal-Mart.... so far so good with it.

BabyGirl Rosie · 12-09-2012, 01:26 PM

I have a Brother. And I have no idea how to use it! Lol

I have the designer one also. Do you have the large hoop. I know I really want the new one. *Drool* but too much though. I was told I can trade in it but they are not giving me enough to make it worth the trade

I have the large hoop... I haven't used it much.

I have real problems with the tension ....bobin thread showing when I emborider.

Mine is so old it used the floppy disk lol. I think it has to be 10 years old. Sews well though. How much were you offered as a trade? I got mine as a floor model so I did well ... I will never be that lucky again
