Yaay!! I bought a new sewing machine

Any tradesman will tell you, yo u must have good tools.  Sewing is no different.

I've been wanting to buy either a Bernina, a Pfaff, or a Husqvarna since in the 1990's when I first learned about them.  Unfortunately I have never been able to put together the funds to do so.   In the interim, I have one White, two Brothers and one Singer.

I have been searching for an affordable high end sewing machine in the past months and was led, via Pattern Review, to look at Juki.  Guess what, I fell in love!!  I purchased a "customer returned" Juki HZL G210 and it is a joy to work with this machine.

Today I made a dish drainer, two clothes pin bags, a case for my shades (glasses) because my Juki just purred while I was making them.  I am about to do some alterations on my son's five work pants and after that I will be sewing three school pants for my younger son.

This is a first in all my years of sewing. I have never before done so many items in one day.  I can see my days ahead will be filled with sewing.  Thanks Juki.

By the way I bought my Juki at SewVacDirect.com.  They are based in Texas.    Thanks guys!!  Great service.

I have not yet mastered the art of taking pictures especially with a cell phone or Ipad.  Maybe I need a camera.  I will try to post pictures of my work shortly.
