Maybe a Janome or New Home from the 80s or 90s. I would try out machines from a place that repairs and refurbishes one. You can get a machine that runs like a tank for under $100 that was built to last.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655474950064455409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-54711895386407953942010-09-02T11:24:45.586-07:002010-09-02T11:24:45.586-07:00Yum!

A...Awesome meme idea! I'll join in next week. <br /><br />As for the sewing machine, I got a great Brother machine for $99.99 from London Drugs. Not sure where you're located but there are lots of great deals at Walmart too. <br /><br />Some other reliable brands: Kenmore (by Sears) and Singer (of course!).Monica (aka monnibo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04057000733213775327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-5154062711796090612010-09-01T14:53:44.407-07:002010-09-01T14:53:44.407-07:00My first WIPW linked.

I've helped my mom make a granny square blanket for my son and I've always wanted to make one with my own choice of colors, one day I will. I think using fall colors is a great idea!

If I knew I would use it all the time, it would be worth it, but I don't want to spend $200+ on something unless I know it will get a lot of use. I"ll check out the Brother machines!

You might be a bit pushed with $150, though - $200 would give you more options (that might not be practical though, pls feel free to ignore!).Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664454336482695288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-90479401128187738812010-09-01T09:51:07.408-07:002010-09-01T09:51:07.408-07:00Back after two weeks of little internets!
