Not sure if I have posted about sewing machines before but any suggestions will be most gratefully received. I like the look of this one http://www.janomesewingmachines.gur.co.uk/janome_memory_craft_4900qc-2612 but it is really a bit/alot out of my budget. Would it be worth saving for a bit longer as I imagine it to possibly be the last machine I buy, my last one has lasted approx 34 yrs. I want to be able to quilt sew etc and also have upper and lower case lettering. Please help?Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes0

You won't save as much if you don't buy the designer patterns, but I think Vogue's Very Easy are often easier than other makes.
I had to stop myself buying a couple of Advanced (in difficulty) patterns, both because they looked a real stretch, and because they were clearly designed for someone a foot taller and 2 stones lighter than me. Humph.0 -

I havent used them but have seen them mentioned in sewhip magazine. So imagine that they are are reptuble company.
I have used crafts and quilts for cheap fabric packs. Excellent service - they rang to see if I still wanted my order as they had to change one of the fabrics in the bundle. Only thing was the packs are 1/2 & 1/4 yards and NOT meters.0 -

Just realised that I have them in my bookmarks as they have this fab stuff - chalk cloth
Very expensive but I was thinking along the lines of a crayon roll/roll-up drawing board for the boys on car journeys.
Lol:rotfl: most of the things on my to do list are never going to be made, it is that long:rotfl:0
