Choosing a machine...some basics
by suemccartin | Apr 04 '05
Choose your machine for your project, several single-purpose machines may be more efficient than one multi-function machine. Older is better, no computers unless you really need that!

Thanks for the information on both of the machines, since I am very interested in the walking foot and was wondering if it was worth it.
The person selling the Gemsy got me for $150. for a piece of junk, I believe they have been kicked off ebay.

I just saw the Gemsy serger on sale on ebay for $65, emailed the seller - What's the catch? Why's it so cheap? And brand new? Dead giveaway for a deadbeat product.

Thank you for saving me from another electronic headache!

Thank you so much for some really great information! I found many parts useful (I'm what you'd call a RAW Beginner in sewing)

Great stuff here.
