It's been about 10 years since I owned a sewing machine. The last one I had was a cheap Singer (I think I paid $79 or so for it) from Walmart. After being beyond frustrated with it, I got rid of it several years ago and haven't had a machine since. I've also not had any pressing projects that I've wanted to do, so I haven't bothered even really researching sewing machines. Until now.
We own a Lance travel trailer. I (We) love it... but, it's got ugly fabric. We were recently thinking about selling it and upgrading to something a little bigger (with better fabric too). After doing some thinking, we've decided to keep the one we have and I'm on a mission to change the fabric. If, for a couple of hundred dollars, I can make it more "us", then I'll do it.
With now wanting/needing to make cushion covers, I obviously needed a new sewing machine. I knew the "cheap" models were out of the question. Dealing with outdoor upholstery fabrics requires more than those machines can really handle (at least in my opinion).
So, we headed to Joann's and started talking with the Husqvarna people there. After a couple of trips and research on our own, we decided to get the Husqvarna Opal 670.
I'm in absolute love with this machine. It's so easy to use and can do so many things.
I've got a TON of projects lined up - some bigger than others. Can't wait to get started!
