Hey Sewing circle,
I kind of lost my sewing mojo with all that has been going on around here but now I am starting to miss my creative outlet. I gave my old sewing machine (25 yo bernina) to my mom because the voltage was for the caribean and it was getting a bit slow due to the transformer and old age.
Now I have about 250 euro's saved for a new machine and I was thinking that buying a good second-hand machine would be better than buying a new one for that price. My preference would be a pfaff or bernina but the second hand kind I can get for that price are hobby machines and I want a sturdy one to last me at least as long as the other one ;-)
I found a second-hand Husqvarna Viking Huskystar C20 with 5 yr guarentee but I have no experience with that brand. I did do an online search and it is highly recommended but still I am a bit apprehensive to buy. Do any of you have experience with this brand? Pls let me know! I really need a creative outlet instead of going mad at nighttime :-( I am extremely short on cash so 250 is a lot of money for me now and really need to spend it wisely!!

Pls share any info you have on this brand and type with me!

Oh How I Wish!
Oh how I wish I could get a new sewing machine. I have a very old Elna...and I will spare you the photos. If I get one, I was thinking of a "Brother" or "Bernina"but Singers are always good too. I guess I don't know either. I think the biggest thing is to consider what sort of sewing you plan to do and would like to do and be sure that it can handle those types of projects. I usually sew decor, small crafts, and small quilts...coming soon to an etsy shop near you! LOL. I would recommend asking Lisa of Cultured Expressions: : http://ymib.com/lisashep to get her opinion and you can check out this post from Erica Bunker: http://www.ericabunker.com/search?q=sewing+machines Just scroll down a bit and you will see it. Please keep us posted on which one you end up getting!
SEW INSPIRED!
