I have had my brother sewing machine
for over 20 years it does button holes and 15 fancy stitches
It had been a work horse over the years and it's still working like new
It does not self thread which I wish it did have now as I also have trouble with my fingers
I used to make my own clothes on my mums old singer as being small none of the fashions fitted me
Now it is cheaper to buy then make them as shops cater for all sizes.
You don't have to be as mad as a box of frogs to be here but it helps:mysmilie_13:
