I know this is way, way out of your price range but Franklins have an ex-demo Brother V3 for sale.https://www.franklinsgroup.com/product/brother-v3-3/
Might be of interest to someone else.

I decided to retire German made Henckels as they have dulled. I just ordered a pair of Fiskers Amplify Razoredge scissors. Those and some LED bulbs for my Featherweight arrive tomorrow.

If it doesn't already been done change the old incandescent bulb for a modern LED.
Doh! I still haven't done this but it is needed. The light is the worst thing about the machine.

In the wardrobe / Re: Indian block print shirt

According to Wikipedia, the pattern is sometimes called “Persian pickle” by Americans, particularly quiltmakers, and “Welsh pear” in Wales. I heard of the latter when I read a book called The Persian Pickle Club.

Pair them up with this fabric. NB: Croft Mill will soon be tipped off about the printing error so for those who miss it, this fabric is advertised for sale at £2500.00 a metre.

I tried to post a response to a thread and the system wouldn’t cooperate. I eventually received a 110 error message - timed out. Yesterday I sent a PM and kept clicking to send. No response. It did actually get sent but there was no indication of this until I received a reply! I’ll just read and not attempt to respond.
Ha! That one got through!

I am not sure how I feel about my body double lurking in the corner of the room @Missie. May have to keep it under wraps when not in use.

Dress Forms / Re: Which dressform?

Which one did you go for and have you found it value for money? TBH I am leaning towards a cheap, non-adjustable because my personal adjustments would not be straightforward.

You did a magnificent job so definitely not a Dog's Dinner. I can't believe you quilted around all those blinking trees!!
