Ummm... wtf
For some reason my entry got deleted. Imma re-post it, but edited a little. If there's something wrong with it, please let me know.
I want a new sewing machine for christmas. I want to be able to do lots of different stitches, including a zig-zag/satin stitch. I don't know what stuff is called, so I'll just show you some of the kind of stuff i want to be able to do with it. If you guys could tell me what I need to tell people I'm looking for, that would be great:
-Someone posted this the other day. I want to be able to do the stitching that's on this.

-I also want something strong enough to go through thicker fabrics. I don't know if that has to do with needles or what.
A lot of people ask for reccomendations of good machines, but I also want to know what I should avoid. I've heard bad things about newer singers because of the plastic parts. So... what should I avoid, concerning Brands or anything else?
What are some things that your machine does that you didn't realize you wanted before you bought it, but wouldn't buy another machine without it now that you've experienced it?
Do you gys have any links to what different stitches and feet do? with pictures and good desriptions?
I've looked in the memories and found some good information already, so I know what's there. There are just a couple of things I really want the answers to and wanted to post about.
Thanks!
Steph
P.S. I already got curbside_bandit and pmthreads comments :) Thanks, guys.
