Hi
@Lizzy777 - I've only just seen this. For some reason, I wasn't notified that you'd mentioned me? Weird, because I always get notifications.
Anyway, to answer your question about my sewing machines ..... I learned on a treadle machine when I was about 10, then bought a brand new Singer in the 1970's which I used for about 25 years until the motor blew up. Then I bought a Janome which I loved.
I decided to upgrade the Janome about 3 years ago, which was when I was trying out the Juki (amongst other makes). I eventually settled upon a Bernina 570QE and was quite happy with it, and have just upgraded again to a Bernina 720, which I love. So I currently have 3 sewing machines and an overlocker, again a Janome.
