What do you wish your sewing machine did that ...

It doesn't do now.

For those who have a sewing machine, are you happy with it or do you wish it did more for you.

I'm very happy with mine other than I do wish the emboidery stitches could be just a wee bit larger.

Yours?

I have an old sewing machine that my DH bought me new in the sixties! LOL! It really only sews. Would love one of the new ones that are easier to use and did more.

I'd like to do embroidery on mine. Maybe one of these days when I actually have more time to use it.

knew how to sew by itself! LOL. I haven't gotten to do much on it yet. Once I sew better, I will brobably have a long list.

I love mine, it is at least 25 years old. It was the first thing I ever purchased new.

I got a store credit card to start building credit when I went out on my own. I would charge one thing, pay it off, then charge something else for my apartment and pay that off until I finally built some credit.

I just wish I had a sewing machine!

**dozymom** · 12-06-2002, 02:55 PM

Mine suits me to a t! Can't think of a thing. It doesn't embroider, but neither do I so we bump along just great.

I wish I had one. I am making a three tiered prairie skirt and I don't think my hands will ever be the same lol

Mine does everything but work by its self and I really wish I didnt have to even be in the same room with it! I sound terrible but I worked for years at a clothing manufactoring company we sewed for Polo, Ralph Loren and I now look at sewing as a nessary evil , I have a new singer machine sews great and I have the ability but no desire to do any heavy duty sewing , I only mend /hem with it I do make my DD some American girl doll clothes. but thats it.
