In the wardrobe / Re: Machine Guidance

May I add my comments on here too. I am a friend of Twopence on here, and I have recently had to ask her for a machine back that I loaned to her just before Christmas. Hence Twopence's need for a small easily portable machine to take to her P&Q classes. So there we were looking at the SMD website, each in our own homes, but on the phone to one another. Whilst I have never used SMD, I know others on TSP have with excellent results. You say you are a beginner, so looking at what Morgan has suggested all from SMD, there is a bonus you get to have a huge amount of threads - there are 50 looks like 1,000 mts. spools, five pairs of scissors - all different sizes, a tape measure, some bobbins, an unpicker and some machine needles thrown in as an extra - so for someone starting out sounds like a good idea.
Of course using a local dealer is far and away the best way of looking and trying out various machines, but if there is not a dealer nearby and you have to use mail order, then SMD could well be your best bet. I understand that Russell at SMD listens to what you are saying, and advises accordingly - now that is what I call good service.
Good luck in your quest.
