Mary, it was the real Mary of the Sew & Serge, stayed late, suggested the
Emerald 116, and I love it and bought it. She was so nice. I highly recommend that store. Great service.

My Emerald is such a trooper, I really put it through it's paces. There is still so much I have to learn that it can do. I have to say, some of the gadgets scary me a tad. Automatic button-hole maker, plastic 'feet' and I still get sweaty when I've to change a needle. It's totally easy, just my worry that I'll accidentally hurt my lovely machine.

Now, if I were to come into lots of money suddenly, I would so get the completely terrifying Bernina 830. It's so..... got everything. And it's computerized. Ha! It'd take me a year to work up the nerve to use it. Maybe.
I so want to go sew now.

It's funny how we become bonded with our sewing machines!

Oh, my gosh, I understand. I've been through probably thirty wire cutters since I started making jewelry, but I still have this beat up old pair of needle-nosed pliers that I bought at Big Lots and use every single day. I've bought others, but I always use those.
