So I did a thing....

I ordered a sewing machine - Brother Pacesetter PS500 - it's refurbished so I got an $800 machine for $600. Can't wait to try it out. Well - I love it! One of the main things about my old machine that I hated was that it didn't sew well over seams. This machine sews right over the seams without any problem. Also, it makes neater, more even, stitches.
