Sewing machines for beginners

[cookielucylou]

I've got an old janome which is great apart from not being able to sew threw thick materials which was rather annoying as its taking me months to handsew a patchwork quilt together.

I am getting my aunties sewing machine when her house is cleared ( she passed away april time ) I want to make a memeory quilt out of LO clothes my other aunts going to help. I think its a singer machine, but it must be old! xxxx

The older machines were made much sturdier and designed to last. before you use it clean all the fluff out of the spool holder and oil the moving parts. Hope you have a longand fruitful life together.

Thanks hun, my uncle oiled it all for me, will remember about the needel-thanks xxx
